pint - is a unit of measurement that beer is often served in in drinking establishments. It is an eighth of a gallon or half a quart. The word entered Middle English from Old French, presumably from a Latin origin. Some suggest it is related to "painted", referring to a mark on a container to show certain amounts. It is used to represent beer when going out to drink, especially in the UK, whether drinks are served in this amount or not.
