Pint

The pint is a unit of volume. It is in use mainly in the US, the UK and Ireland, although the value is not the same and the US has two types of pint:

As part of the metrication process, the pint in the UK is now only used as a measure for beer (see pint glass) and cider when sold by the glass (in public houses for instance) and milk (although milk is also sold in metric quantities). Many recipes published in the UK still provide ingredient quantities in imperial and metric, where the pint is often used as a unit for larger liquid quantites. Most new recipes are now published in metric only with the pint being rounded to 500 ml.
