  "A half liter is too small and a liter too much"- Why the UK still uses the pint in bars.

    Do they really use pints? Most new 'pint' glasses I see are marked 56 Centi-litres.

      One imperial pint is 56.8 cl, so that is about a pint. It looks like they are shortchanging you 8ml.

        EU Bastards!

          The EU states pint glasses must be 568ml (or larger with a line to the level) and measured in a sane and consistent way. Bit like BS standards and crown marking, but makes trade easier - if I make pint glasses for use in the UK, in Greece, and in Spain, I don't need to get 3 standards bodies to approve them.

      What's more practical/usable, "bartender I'll have a pint!" or "bartender I'll have fifty-six centiliters!"

        What's more practical, "I'll have 1 3/4 pints" or "I'll have a litre" Don't get me started in "tiny pints" used in the u.s.
