PINTS

n. unit for measuring volume that is equal to one-eighth of a gallon

The pint is an English unit of volume or capacity in the imperial system and United States customary units, equivalent in each system to one half of a quart, and one eighth of a gallon. The value is very roughly half a litre, but differs between systems, and according to whether the contents are wet or dry:United Kingdom, Commonwealth of Nations (Imperial)1 pint = 20 fluid ounces = 568.26125 ml ≈ 568 ml1 pint = 4 gills (this was the legal definition although in some areas a gill of milk or beer is referred to as a half-pint; elsewhere a gill was the ⅓ pint of milk given free to school children)United States1 pint (wet) = 16 fluid ounces = 2 cups = 473.176473 ml ≈ 473 ml1 pint (dry) = 550.6104713575 ml ≈ 551 ml1 pint (metric) = 500 ml (informally)
