A Dirty Pint is a cocktail style drink usually reserved for special occasions, such as a 21st Birthday. The idea of a dirty pint is to include as much alcohol and as many different styles of drink in one pint glass, usually with a very small amount of mixer to maximize the alcohol intake. It should be tried to down in one, although often this proves unsuccessful. Often the drink is payed for by collecting coins from the party in the pint glass thats to be used, and all the money is spent on the drink.
This practice is frowned upon by barkeepers due to the excessive alcohol intake in such a swift time causing extreme drunken behavior. Many establishments would refuse to sell you a pint, a workaround of this is to buy each drink individually and mix by hand.
