      Was gonna say, hold my pint (but only after I’ve drunk it).

      Also US pints are pussies, they should just switch to metric. Meanwhile UK pints are king.

        Can you imagine a place that uses imperial units next to metric units, in some unholy alliance that’s clearly worse than imperial units alone? Welcome to the UK, bruv.

            In real money:

            1 US pint = 473ml

            1 UK pint = 568ml

            Meanwhile the standard metric measure is 500ml. So US would benefit from dropping the pint in favour of metric, while UK drinkers would be understandably reluctant. Unfortunately, most UK bottles are now 500ml, thanks to shrinkflation. Newcastle Brown held out for a while, so did ciders, but these days pint bottles are quite rare.
