>Pints are used to serve draught or keg beer.

Even in France, we use pints to serve beer...

Sure, but it is a normal metric pint (0.5L) - and the demi is 250mL.

In the UK and US they still have ye olde measures - 568.3mL and 473.2mL respectively.

AFAIK US pints for aren't 568ml. Whoever said everything is bigger in America didn't include the beer.
