"A pint is a pint is a pint is a pint," is what I argued about the service of beer in bars. I assumed that a pint was a standard measurement. Turns out it's not. American pints are 16 ounces. English pints are 20 ounces. (With that and the rule that you don't tip your bartender if you're just drinking, beer is much more economical there, and well, better, but that's beside the point).
And then there are half pints. I learned about halfway through the trip that proper English girls drink half pints.
Clearly I am very posh. Or not.

Ha. Amazing. You seriously labeled this American Lush. That's the most amazing part.
Come back over and have another pint with me...forget those girls that insist the half pint is the way to go!
