How much is a pint in the UK?

Do I get more or less beer in a pint? I need to know!

A UK pint is 568ml A US pint is 473ml

The UK conversion rate of casual language to real pints is not as well understood, despite years of research.

"A swift half" = at least 2 pints "A couple of pints" = at least 6 pints + 1 kebab

Are you for real because I'm in stiches. I had no idea donairs were a unit of the Imperial Magestry. There's kinda something beautiful about the casual approach to measurement that we've abandoned.

Imperial pint is about 20% more than a US pint I believe.

Fuck! Now I have to move. I was happy here, but knowing this I will never again be content with 16 oz pints.

Looking into where I can find half assed affordable housing. Maybe Wales.
