Mine's a Pint


We all know what a "Pint" looks like right? 

Well, the other day I learnt about a few other pint definitions, amazingly there are at least 10 that I could find! There's the "standard" UK pint at 568ml otherwise known as the "Imperial Pint" and of course our American cousins had to do something different so they have the "Dry Pint" at 551ml and (of course) the "Liquid Pint" at 473ml. Our Australian cousins, not wanting to be outdone by the yanks have their own, predictably larger version at 600ml, and let's not forget our brothers over the border in Scotland who, perhaps even more predictably, have a pint that weighs in at 1,696 ml, more of a "boot" perhaps..
