About Pints

A pint (pt) is a US customary volume unit equal to 2 cups or 16 fluid ounces - approximately 473.176 mL. The pint is culturally iconic for measuring beer and dairy in American and British contexts. However, the US liquid pint (473 mL) is significantly smaller than the UK imperial pint (568 mL) - a key difference for anyone ordering drinks across the Atlantic. In the US, ice cream containers, pint-glass beers, and blood donation volumes are commonly quoted in pints. Fruit and berries are sold by the pint basket at farmers markets. Two US pints equal one US quart.
