After a enough beers, you probably can't say "give > me another 568 ml of beer". We do still use the pint here ( notably for beer ) but buy a pint of milk and it's marked 568ml on the carton. Most other liquids are sold by the litre. Shots of 'spirits' like vodka whisky etc are 25ml. On the continent, beer is normally ordered by the half litre. Graham
