Default American Pints

A fluid ounce is the same everywhere (the space taken up by an ounce of water), but there are 20 of them in a UK pint and only 16 in a US pint. So if a cup = 8fl.oz, that isn't the same as half a pint on your old (British) pyrex measuring jug!

Always a disappointment when having a pint in American bars, but better for keeping the carbs down.
