Recruitment officers used to hide a signing-up bounty (the 'King's Shilling') in the 'free pints' that they offered to unsuspecting sailors. Drinking the beer was deemed to be acceptance of the money, and commitment to recruitment in the King's service. The glass-bottomed tankard was said to have been invented so that men would spot the trick before it was too late!
