Serious question prompted by your comment, do people who drink at home drink pints?  I’d be very surprised if the answer is mainly yes.

I only drink pints at home due to this bad boy.

I mostly buy bottles for drinking at home - so 330ml.  Only one of my tipples of choice comes in a larger (500ml) bottle.  I'm not a fan of beer in cans.

Far prefer Stella in cans (but it has to be the pint can).  Complete opposite for Tennents for which the chilled bottled form is a delight.

I find I just pretty much down 330ml bottles.  The idea that any part of a pint could ever be left so long that it loses its fizz is an alien concept to me.

16ozs (or 1 US pint) is the standard can size for the majority of Chicago breweries, so a pint is my usual serving size if at home. 

That’s not a pint and you know it.  Americanised twat.

My tipple of choice comes in 3 bottle sizes - 330/500/1000ml.  The 1000ml is pretty much bought as a sharing bottle - I stick to the 500ml (as an aside the 1000ml is slightly dearer than 2x500ml. As a 2nd aside - a 330ml can is about 20% dearer than a 330ml bottle).  The problem of losing fizz is real for me as I like my beer really, really cold so I keep my beer glasses in the freezer which can be a recipe for flat beer.  Many here add ice to their beer which is totally f****d up to me.

Who weighs beer? What's that in normal pints or ml?

He's talking about fluid ounces. Confusingly,  US fluid ounces are larger than imperial fluid ounces, but US pints are smaller than imperial pints.

A US pint is roughly 473 ml, whilst the imperial pint is 568 ml.

Is the amount of a ‘fluid’ ounce variable?

Surprisingly yes. An imperial fl oz is 28.41mls whereas the US one is 29.57mls. So the yank one is bigger, but they call 16 of them a pint, whereas you’ll need 20 of them in Blighty.

 

So if you get a 20oz ‘pint’ in the US - and there’s a pub I sometimes go to for the football that’ll give you British beers (usually Fullers and Belhaven) in that option - it actually pisses all over your wee sad colonist pints to the tune of an extra 23 and a bit millilitres.

But neither of these ‘fluid’ ounces are ‘fluid’, they are both set measures.

If you're drinking Bellhaven or Fullers I'm not sure getting extra can be classed as winning.
