I'm kinda relaxed w.r.t. actual hostilities coming from Germany/Austria. The large pensioner populations and - still - a sizable part of workers understand that burning the house down doesn't improve anything. But it could be

Measuring beer is serious business in Germany to the point the EU commission had to comment on a rule change that supposedly forbade the usage of steins for foaming drinks (it didn't, but Germany wanted to be extra strict): https:&#x2
