That is why they should offer three pint (or four) sizes:
small pint = 400 mL
medium pint = 500 mL
large pint = 600 mL
maybe even a super pint equal to a litre.
Those who want a pint close to the old size can ask for large.
The imperials always whine about choice, well what better choice then this?

Bah. A pint should be locked into 500mL.
Ok..next issue please. haha...it should be that
easy.
And one of the major complaints you'll get from the UK
is that doing so would reduce the pint in size, as an
imperial pint is larger than 500 mL. They don't want
smaller glasses of beer, even if prices were reduced
accordingly, which many in the UK would doubt.
