It's not much, but there are differences in US and UK measurements, even in pints and ounces.
24 US ounces is a US pint and a half, or a UK pint and a quarter.
But don't get a headache over it.![]()
In the UK we use the term "fluid ounce" as a measure of volume, to distinguish it from "ounce" which is a measure of weight. There are 20 fluid ounces in a pint, so 24 fluid ounces would actually be a pint and a fifth.
In the US, a fluid ounce is 29.5 ml and there are 16 of them in an American pint, making a pint 473 ml. A British fluid ounce is 28.4 ml, making a British pint 568 ml.
There's more. In the UK, a gallon is 8 pints or 4.54 litres. A US gallon is a mere 3.78 litres.
