Eeeh....measure two fingers, multiply the result in inches times 2,
divide by 3 and multiply by six. The result should get you high.

thats a load of crap! beer is supposed to have a decent head... Guinness
doubly so.

it depends on the size of the glass... try one fifth of the of the
glass's hight.

A fifth? A bit of a firm head is nice, but a fifth? Come on. I prefer to
drink beer, not foam.

On a standard British pint glass, I prefer about a finger's worth, which is
probably a bit over half an inch. Still leaves me a good 90 percent of more
of actual beer to enjoy.

Whatever room is left between the pint marker and the top of the glass.

I am paying for beer, not nitrogen filled foam.
