"Hey how's going, fancy a bit less than a pint" doesn't really have the same ring to it, does it?

Pints are manly, glasses are for girls.

oh no... you still call it a pint, we just change the definition. that's what they call a philosophical solution.

I always say "are you going for 568 millilitres?"

I'm quite the zealot when it comes to the metric system.

There is always the US pint... <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->

in oz i drank the schooner ( in NSW its 425 ml). I thought then and now its a great size especially if you have a range of beers you wan to try. It looks like a pint just smaller. But the thing is here its probably the same price per pint or 425 ml vessel.
A german friend of mine cant understand how a bottle of eg heiniken/ miller is 4.50 and a pint is 4.30 ( these are loose eg's as i try not to have either).
