About liters
The liter (L) is the metric system's unit for volume, defined as one cubic decimeter (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm). It was introduced in France in 1795 to standardize liquid measurement. Although technically a 'non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI,' it is the most common volume unit worldwide for beverages, fuel, and trade. It bridges the gap between small mL quantities and large cubic meter volumes. liters are commonly used in Soda and water bottles, Fuel tanks (outside US), Engine displacement (e.g., 2.0L engine), and Milk cartons (outside US), Scientific experiments.
A large water bottle is typically 1 liter.
About pints
The pint is a unit steeped in tradition, especially in pub culture. However, a 'pint' means different things in different places. A US Liquid Pint is 16 fluid ounces (approx. 473 mL), while a British Imperial Pint is 20 fluid ounces (approx. 568 mL). This is why a beer in London is visibly larger than a standard beer in New York. The unit dates back to the measuring of wine and ale in medieval Europe. pints are commonly used in Beer servings, Ice cream (e.g., Ben & Jerry's), Blueberries/Strawberries, and Cream and milk, Blood donation (approx. 1 pint).
