Pints vs liters converter
There are Pints and Pints. Imperial pints in UK and US pints in USA... and it's a better deal in UK if the price is same! For most of Europeans except UK and Ireland a draft beer is 500ml. In Spain people drink Cañas and Jars, but on this page we don't go there. Here you have Pints versus Liters. :]
THE HISTORY OF THE PINT
“I’m going for a pint”, in UK this is a synonymous for the sentence “I’m going for a beer… and it means also “going to the pub and see my friends”. The term "pint" has a rich history rooted in measurement and cultural significance, particularly related to beer. Originally a unit of volume with varying definitions across different regions, the "pint" as we know it today, especially in the UK, was standardized by the Imperial Weights and Measures Act of 1824. This act defined the Imperial gallon, and consequently the pint, based on the weight of water, solidifying its place in British culture and legal standards.
THE HISTORY OF THE LITRE
The liter is coming from France. It was introduced in 1795 as one of the new "republican units of measurement." One litre of liquid water has a mass of one kilogram.
In 1901, the liter was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 °C (39.2 °F) and standard atmospheric pressure.
In 1964, at the 12th General Conference on Weights and Measures, it was decided to return to the original definition of the litre. A liter is now a special name for a cubic decimeter, that is, it is exactly 1 dm3.
