[edit] Half-litre pint / double-pint litre
I was told by my chemistry professor that since the UK joined the EU, they were no longer allowed to sell beer in pints; it had to be called a half liter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.61.46.16 (talk • contribs) . the pint is a u.s customary measure
[edit] Flanders annotation
A "pint" in Flanders isn't necessarily a 25 cl glass. A "pint" would translate in English to a "lager". It's just that the most common size for lagers in Flanders is 25 cl... 80.201.183.198 12:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] pint =12 oz?
Can anyone add any information about why so many bars and restaurants in the United States serve beer in 12 oz "pints," with glasses that look almost exactly like a real 16 Oz US pint? Mrendo 16:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- If the menu lists "pints" and you are served 12oz, you are being defrauded, and you should report the bar or restaurant to the appropriate regulatory body (Alcoholic Beverage Commission, Restaurant Licensing Board, or whatever). If, on the other hand, you're simply observing that 12oz is the normal serving size in many places (it is also the most common beer bottle size in the US), there's not much to say, is there? --Macrakis 22:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ⅛
I changed ⅛ to 1/8 simply because the 8 is indiscernable from 6, or 9, or 3 at that size. 211.30.75.123 03:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
