Twother: a proposed measure of beer in pubs and restaurants in the United Kingdom. It would be two-thirds of an imperial pint, which is approximately 380 ml. The idea was proposed by British Beer and Pubs Association, which believes that it is the ideal size for a high-strength beer or lager.

The measure is already in use in Australia, where it is known as a schooner. It has become popular because of the warm climate, since a full pint of beer will become too warm before it is finished.

It has been suggested that it is a way to combat Binge Drinking.
