But a Pint is different in the US and the UK.

Google is your Friend 1 UK pint=568ml 1US pint =473ml

super-sized

So we get more, hurray!

That's right, the liquid measure is different, and that caused me some rather strange cooking mistakes when I first went to the States.

The US pint is 16oz and the UK pint is 20 oz.

So a US Gallon is 20% smaller than the British one, which makes the fuel calculation strange when talking about petrol prices!

Cheers, Vena

I was very tempted when I was in Phoenix to ask for a pint that was not a pint,but did not want to confuse the barstaff.

It just meant I had to drink more to make up the shortfall.
