Hello All!

I just read an article in a popular science magazine from Britain,
"Chemistry World", where it was stated "Little beats a cool, crisp pint
of beer on a hot summer's day". I thoroughly agree with that sentiment
but the article was illustrated by a picture of beer in the usual 12oz
bottle. Is "pint" just a name for a glass of beer in Britain or does it
commonly come in 20oz (British pint) bottles? I suspect that the use of
"pint" for a glassful is common in Ireland too and I'm aware that the
British and American fl ozs are very slightly different.
