The British pint is 20 floz. US pint is 16 floz. And tbe British floz is different from the US floz. I think they both weigh one ounce, but Britain defines the volume at the temperature of maximum water density, 4°C, while USA defines it at 20°C. > > With a proper pint glass, there's a mark.

See you in court.
