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 Gallon (US) (gal)
A US customary unit of volume equal to exactly 3.785411784 liters, or 128 fluid ounces. US gallons are the default unit for US gasoline pricing and fuel economy (miles per gallon), milk and beverage containers, water heaters, and pool/aquarium capacity. Different from the Imperial gallon used in the UK (4.546 L) — a frequent source of confusion when comparing US vs. UK fuel economy or trans-Atlantic recipes. One US gallon weighs about 8.34 pounds.
