I'm with you ALL THE WAY. In my nearly 3 decades, I still falter with US measurements... metric, IMO, would be the best way to go for all of us. Sigh...

How crazy is it to be still using pre-metric measurements in the 21st century? :) Your article uses imperial fluid ounces (which are now obsolete in the UK), but don’t forget US fluid ounces are different.

1 imperial fluid ounce = approx 28.41 mL
1 US fluid ounce = approx 29.57 mL

So the new 2/3 imperial pint glass = approx 13.33 imperial fluid ounces = approx 12.81 US fluid ounces (or 379 mL anywhere in the world).

How crazy is it to be still using pre-metric measurements in the 21st century? :)

I guess it just goes to show how important beer is across the pond! i find it incredibly interesting that Parliament has to be bothered with pint glass sizes – doesn’t GB’s government have more important issues to be concerned with?
