I had a lot fo fun with this, hope it at least gets in the top 50%
Multi exposure mode
Semi-circle of black paper on the end of rotating polarising lens.
Swirled beer in the glass for "just drunk" look. (it was easier to photograph it empty then full so the glass didn't need moving between shots)
Took picture of half of the glass with no beer in it, rotated lens, filled glass and took pic of other side of glass.
Post processing:
Resized,
cropped,
slight dodging and burning to make shadows a little darker and to remove the darkened area produced where the two images merged.
Brightness adjustment.
Neat imaged to remove excess noise.

Nicely executed trick - though I'm not certain about your light: seems quie heavy - the reflections so very bright, but the subjects seeming a touch indistinct. Pity you couldn't have got the glass more precisely half and half - I think these kinds of trick work really do need care in such areas.
9 for the extra difficultness in this double exposure. IMO same technique as "split bout...the inner struggle" from graphicphunk.... oh maybe its you....
Assuming this didn't violate the rules, I think it would have been equally effective if the glass was just plain empty with some foam at the bottom IMO.
The harsh shadows make a very clever idea look a little amateurish. Having taken photos of beer myself, though, I know how finicky it can be. Great work.
Intersting photo. Love the half empty effect. Is it two mixed photos? Not a big fan of the beer can in the back, just looks like trash laying about. 7.
