First, the basics. A pint is officially 568 milliliters in the UK. But in the US, it’s a measly 473 milliliters. That’s a 95-milliliter betrayal.
Why? Because Americans love freedom, and they love smaller glasses. Actually, it’s because imperial measurements got divorced from US customary units back in 1824. Ouch.
So, if you order a pint in London, you get nearly 20% more beer than in New York. That’s not a splash—that’s a whole extra sip of happiness.
