Yup. Hence also the Brit's complaint about the metric system: a liter of beer is too much, half a liter isn't enough, but a pint, ah, that's just right. The Imperial pint is .57 liters, whereas the Flintstone one is only .47 liters.
A half-litre can of Guinness fits perfectly into the standard Irish pint glass. I mean perfectly. I just poured one. :-)
Hence this Brit's complaint also about Irish beer. Lots of froth, lots to chew on as well, but not much to drink! ;-)
