About Pint (pt)
A US customary unit of volume equal to 2 cups or 16 fluid ounces (about 473 mL). Pints are the standard US beer, ice cream, and blueberry/strawberry container size. The UK (Imperial) pint is larger at about 568 mL — so a pint of beer in London is ~20% bigger than a pint in New York. Pints and quarts are still the default retail units in American grocery stores for milk, heavy cream, and yogurt.
About Fluid Ounce (fl oz)
A US customary unit of liquid volume equal to 1/128 of a US gallon (about 29.57 mL). Fluid ounces are the standard unit on US beverage containers, shampoo bottles, cooking recipes, and cocktail recipes — a standard US soda can is 12 fl oz, a large Starbucks drink is 20 fl oz, and most cocktails call for 1.5 fl oz of spirits. Easy to confuse with the Imperial fluid ounce (~28.41 mL) used in the UK, though the difference is small enough that it rarely matters for everyday use.
