Is that a real pint or a short pint?

WTF is a short pint?

Presumably a 16oz pint, as opposed to the 20oz Imperial pint.

bottom line; english beers are LESS alcoholic per unit volume than
american beers. period.


Nope. most are higher alcoho content per volume, though they vary wildly.
Their real beers will blow the back of your head off and leave you feeling
pretty ****ty the next day, too. As you can see, some of them (McEwans,
which tastes awful) are very potent indeed.
