Almost all other countries have standardized on the metric system, so the size of what may be called a pint varies depending on local custom. The imperial pint (â 568 ml) is used in the United Kingdom and Ireland and to a limited extent in Commonwealth nations. In the United States, two pints are used: a liquid pint (â 473 ml) and a less-common dry pint (â 551 ml). Each of these pints is one-eighth of its respective gallon but the gallons differ and the imperial pint is about 20% larger than the US liquid pint.
