And you might experience a disappointment then if you order it in the
US where the pint is apparently 450ml; at least, I won several bets
on whether a pint is less or more than half a litre against American
visitors.... The stake being, of course, the next round of drinks. :)
And, if memory serves correctly, here in Singapore I once ordered a
pint of draught beer and was served half a litre... Confused me
completely... That's when I thought that the metric system is so much
safer until I ordered my next beer, according to the menu a bottled
beer of 400ml, it came in a 333ml bottle...
Cheers,
Berwin
