30/03/2007 22:32 - (SA)
Vienna - Austrian police want fans to drink weak beer served in plastic cups at the 2008 European Championship to reduce potential violence.
Authorities say they're pressing co-hosts Austria and Switzerland to consider special "Euro 2008 beer" and "Euro 2008 mugs." Translation: Low-alcohol strength beer in cups that can't be used as projectiles.
Police spokesperson Peter Jedelsky said: "We're close to working out a light beer with the beer industry.
The plastic cups would be branded with the tournament logo and serve as souvenirs.
Jedelsky said the cups "wouldn't inflict pain on anyone."
