In both of those systems, it is one-eighth of a [[gallon]]. 

The British imperial pint is 20.095% larger than the US pint because [[Comparison of the imperial and US customary measurement systems|the two systems are defined differently]]. Almost all other countries have standardized on the [[metric system]], so although some of them still also have traditional units called pints (such as for beverages), the volume varies by regional custom.

The imperial pint (≈{{thinsp}}{{val|568|ul=mL}}) is used in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and other [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth countries]]. In the United States, two kinds of pint are used: a liquid pint (≈{{thinsp}}{{val|473|u=mL}}) and a less common dry pint (≈{{thinsp}}{{val|551|u=mL}}). 

Other [[Dominion|former British colonies]], such as Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, converted to the metric system in the 1960s and 1970s, so while the term {{em|pint}} may still be in common use in these countries, it may no longer refer to the British imperial pint once used throughout the [[British Empire]].
