Not really, it means different things to different people. If I say to my oh in the pub "I'll have a pint" I know he'll get me a pint of coke so if I were to say to him in of down the local for a pint he'd know what I meant.

What could mean a pint of bitter to one will mean a pint of lager to another a pint of coke to another or a pint of lemonade to someone else.
As I said, a pint is only the measure of the liquid.

Aah good old Sam Smiths - old Humphrey doesn't like his customers to have a good time - plenty to read about it on here http://samsmiths.info/ - he certainly doesn't seem to be bothered about whether what he writes/says/does is legal

I was wondering why the Milkman placed two lagers on my doorstep when I asked him to drop off a couple of extra pints on his next visit.

Different context.

Although I think you support his point as if you said to the milkman you wanted a couple of extra pints he would give you 2 pints of milk not 2 pints of some other beverage!

Saying you've gone to the pub for a pint when you mean you've gone for a pint of a soft drink is a bit pedantic!

Wow. What a thread.

Me? A "pint" is just that. A bloody beer in the pub. So will people stop squealing about coke and lemonade and the rest of it.

Sheesh.

Quite a few employers would sack you for being in a pub when you should have been working. Alcohol or no alcohol.

You don't understand the concept of being 'on call', do you?

Legally what is a pint in a pub? Could you defend a 'pint' in a pub not containing alcohol in a Court of law?
