- mootothemax 14y agoI remember during the influx of Polish workers in the UK, that a pub got into some trouble because it sold a certain Polish beer in a 1 litre glass. From what I recall, it was more that they were using Żywiec-branded glasses, which hold 0.3 and 0.5-litres respectively. UK law only allows beer to be sold in pint units. I doubt they were doing it on purpose, but the small difference adds up quite quickly: serve 10 drinks at pint prices for only the cost of 9 pints.
- Freestyler_3 14y agoThey have those standards so that you know how much alcohol you are drinking. 1 pint 5% (0,5L)= ~20g alcohol = 2 glasses of anything else. Wine 12% = 0,1L Whiskey 40% = 0,035L One glass is about 10g alcohol. (Posted only in liters so it easy on people who are not used to it.)
- tnuc 14y ago>UK law only allows beer to be sold in pint units. Really? What are those things called Half pints?
- tadfisher 14y ago0.5 pints is still measured in pint units.
- Nitramp 14y agoserve 10 drinks at pint prices for only the cost of 9 pints I guess being worried that you might not get your full ~5.68 litres of beer when drinking ten pints is very British indeed ;-)
