About the Pint
Facts & Uses
- US liquid pint = 473.176473 mL exactly (= ½ US quart = 16 US fl oz). Standard for ice cream, milk, and craft beer.
- UK imperial pint = 568.26125 mL exactly — the iconic beer measure in British and Irish pubs ("a pint of bitter").
- Universal pub measure across the UK, Ireland, and Commonwealth: a pub-strength beer in a pint glass holds ~568 mL.
- US dairy and ice cream standard: a pint of ice cream contains 473 mL — about 4 servings by FDA rules.
Curiosities
- The UK pint is 20% larger than the US pint (568 vs 473 mL) — a frequent source of confusion when comparing beer volumes across the Atlantic.
- UK law (Weights and Measures Act 1963) specifically protects the imperial pint for draught beer and cider sold in pubs — one of the few unit exemptions in metricated UK.
- The Latin root "pincta" means "painted mark" — referring to medieval tankards with measurement marks painted on the side.
- Approximate equivalents: 1 US pint ≈ 473 mL ≈ 0.83 imperial pint; 1 imperial pint ≈ 568 mL ≈ 1.20 US pints.
