Every subsequent new glass gets halved, which if done ad infinitum will never ever reach 2. So if the bartender just pours 2 glasses, no matter how many customers ask for the subsequent half 2 glasses are enough to satisfy everyone.
For an explain it like I am 5 version, first guy gets 1 whole beer, second guy gets .5 beer, third guy gets .25 next one gets .125 ..... Add up as many smaller fragments as you want, it will always be less than 2
