About Pint (pt)
A US customary unit of volume equal to exactly 2 US cups, 16 US fluid ounces, or 1/8 of a US gallon (≈ 473.176 mL). Pints are the standard US retail size for beer and craft cider (pint glasses, 'a pint' at a US bar), ice cream (Ben & Jerry's flagship 16 fl oz container is one US pint), berries (the standard clamshell berry container — strawberries, blueberries, raspberries — is one dry US pint, slightly different from the liquid pint at 550.6 mL), heavy cream and half-and-half retail containers, and US homebrew batch sizing. **Important**: the UK (Imperial) pint is larger at exactly 568.261 mL — almost 20% larger than the US pint. A 'pint of beer' in a London pub is meaningfully bigger than in a New York pub. The Australian pint is the same as the UK pint at 568 mL. UK milk in returnable bottles is still sometimes sold in pints. 1 US pt = 2 cups = 16 fl oz = 0.4732 L = 0.8327 UK pt.
About Fluid Ounce (fl oz)
A US customary unit of liquid volume equal to exactly 1/128 of a US gallon (≈ 29.5735 mL). Fluid ounces are the universal US small-liquid-volume retail unit: beverage containers (a standard US Coke can is 12 fl oz, a Starbucks Grande is 16 fl oz, Trenta 30 fl oz), shampoo / lotion / personal-care bottles, US cocktail and bartending recipes (1.5 fl oz is the standard 'jigger' shot), wine pours (a standard restaurant pour is 5 fl oz; a generous home pour 6 fl oz), and home-cooking liquid measurements. **Important**: the US fluid ounce (29.5735 mL) is NOT the same as the UK Imperial fluid ounce (28.4131 mL) — the ~4% difference is usually inconsequential at consumer level but matters when scaling industrial formulations. The US fluid ounce is also distinct from the avoirdupois ounce (a weight unit ≈ 28.35 g), although for plain water the numerical values happen to coincide closely (1 US fl oz of water ≈ 1.04 oz mass).
