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 Liter (L)
A metric unit of volume equal to exactly 0.001 cubic meters (one cubic decimeter). Though technically not an SI unit, liters are accepted for use with SI and are the global standard for beverages, fuel consumption, car engine displacement, blood volume in medicine, and chemistry solutions. A standard wine bottle is 0.75 L, a soda can is 0.33 L, and a mid-size car's fuel tank holds 50–70 L. One liter of pure water at 4°C weighs almost exactly one kilogram — a design feature of the metric system.
