Was gonna say, hold my pint (but only after I've drunk it).
Also US pints are pussies, they should just switch to metric. Meanwhile UK pints are king.
Can you imagine a place that uses imperial units next to metric units, in some unholy alliance that’s clearly worse than imperial units alone? Welcome to the UK, bruv.
I mean we use US customary and metric too, but US customary measurements aren't always the same as Imperial.
1 US pint = 16 US fluid ounces
1 British pint = 20 British fluid ounces
But wait!
1 British pint = 19.2 US fluid ounces
Would you like to know more? Probably not, but anyways: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_imperial_and_US_customary_measurement_systems
In real money:
1 US pint = 473ml
1 UK pint = 568ml
Meanwhile the standard metric measure is 500ml. So US would benefit from dropping the pint in favour of metric, while UK drinkers would be understandably reluctant. Unfortunately, most UK bottles are now 500ml, thanks to shrinkflation. Newcastle Brown held out for a while, so did ciders, but these days pint bottles are quite rare.
