[mba] Honest Pints, honest pours

Our friends in Chi-town have been engaged in some interesting discussions about beer pricing. Of course half the problem is the volume. Webster says a pints is 16 oz, (20 oz in Gr. Britan) but we've all purchased **pints** that measured considerably less (14 and even 12 oz. "pints" are probably as common at 16 oz pints. Leave it to Oregon to offer a solution. http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_050709_politics_oregon_honest_pint _act.3019f68.html I'd prefer fill lines such as are the rule in the EU. e.g. 30cl (10 oz) 33 cl(11), 500 ml, etc. 20 oz of barley wine may sound like a good idea at the time, but probably isn't...
