... ok. You win. Even worse if you think there are holes in the bottom of the 
mugs then how comes that the bottom is still attached to the mug? If you raise 
the mug then its bottom will lie on the ground just like this:

     **     <- special sort of froth maybe due to too much carbonic acid?
    |==|_
    |II|/
    |II|
      .

     |
      |     <- all beer flows off onto the table
    _______________________
   /  .                   /
  /. @ @@  o c  .        /
 /   ~@  ~   .          /
/______________________/

In this situation the bottom of the mug is hidden under the beer already flown 
off the mug and thus is invisible.

So here is the ultimate mini beer mug collection:
                          __              __
   |  |_         |==|_   |==|_   |==|_   |==|_   |==|_
   |  |/         |II|/   |II|/   |II|/   |II|/   |II|/
   |  |          |II|    |II|    |II|    |II|    |II|
    ^^  ~ ~~ ~    ^^      ^^     "^^"    ^~~^    ~~~~
                 empty   full

And how about adding a beer mat to the table above:

      ##     <- veeeerrrryyyyy coooooollll beer
     |==|_
     |II|/
     |II|
       .

      |
       |     <- all beer still flows off
    _______________________
   /  ___           _     /
  /. /  /  o c  .  <##-~ /    <- mouse approaching the beer on the table
 /   ~~~ -   .          /
/______________________/

As one can see the mat desparately needed because the table looks much cleaner 
now. Maybe this situation can be "cleaned up" :) any further.

Yours,

Paul

Ok. One more:

         /
        /
      ##
     |==|_
     |II|/
     |II|
     ~~~~

The moral draw from this: Never drink beer with a straw!
