It depends a little, but in southern Germany (and parts of Austria) 500ml is absolutely the standard and small ones aren't even available in most restaurants (the more regional, the less likely).
I've never lived in the north, just visited very often, and there it could be different depending on the region, setting. Some also say they feel 500ml is the default, others are more in the 330ml range.
- verst 5y agoI also want to add that 1 standard drink is something defined by the government / health authorities. This isn't the typical drink Bavarians actually drink. It is used for calculation of blood alcohol level or for medical purposes. Seems that most beers in Bavaria probably approximately equate to 2 standard drinks, meanwhile a small Pilsener commonly found in the North is about 1 standard drink.
- wink 5y agoYes, I know (now). But we don't have this measurement of a "standard drink" at all. An Australian ex-coworker had to explain the term, much to my confusion. By "the standard" I simply meant what you will get if you go to a restaurant (or pub or bar) and order "one beer".
