of course the made of glass and shape will make a difference.
You cannot drink a Weissbier out of an ordinary glass - yuck! Americans do it all the time, but that wouldn't be a surprise, really.
Plastic cups are an insult and should be banned.
Only heavy glass should be used and depending on the beer it should be frosted.
Cans are only useful to chuck them.
Drafts are for skints.
Bottled is proper and I actually prefer to drink most beer out of the bottle. Keep in mind in the US beer bottles are only .3l, so they don't usually get flat or warm before used up.
I had a boyfriend who would drink his beer only out of frosted glasses - what a pain in the rear......
