Trying to settle a debate: do the international (non-UK) folks here order a “pint” of beer, or just generally connect a “pint” with drinking? I suspect it’s a British thing, but we’re throwing together a fun little project and not sure if ya’ll would connect the dots with a name like “Pint Finder” :savage-joy:

Aye! we use "pint" here.
Though waiters will usually ask "tall or short?" and the short is a pint

I know about it but only used it in the uk
GuyAug 9, 2022, 2:25 PM
Richard-kubina, the SHORT is a pint?!?! How much is the tall :savage-joy:
GuyAug 9, 2022, 2:25 PM
And I thought the Scottish were the drinkers of the world…

22 or 24 ounces!

When I lived in Nottingham, I usually just associated a pint = a drink, and will say “can I get another pint?” for another drink hahah
GuyAug 9, 2022, 6:58 PM
^^^ this is the correct answer 🍻
KienAug 9, 2022, 7:11 PM

Pint Finder is a solid name! I imagine the *app finds you your next pint

In America, I think people say beer more than pint (anti-metric system cultural bias) but most still know what a pint is

When naming a thing, reading more about words' etymology is also helpful

Yeah in Canada we normally say “I’ll have a beer” not “I’ll have a pint”. We would say that if they ask us the size though
