Yea we call 200mls a half pint and 375 a pint. Confused American noises. Some of those imperial terms have stuck, but I have made the full switch in my head to metric as far as volume goes.

If I ordered a pint and got anything less than 500ml I’d be pissed haha.

Its a holdover from the time before liquor started being sold in metric quantities. It’s not consistent at all, a pint is 375ml, a half pint is 200ml. A 5th, for fifth of a gallon, is 750ml. The names are used because the visually resemble the old containers
