Half
意味: A half-pint of beer (284ml); a smaller serving.
A 'half' is half a pint—the smaller of the two standard British beer measures. Ordering a half might draw gentle teasing, but it's perfectly acceptable, especially if you're driving, pacing yourself, or just want to try something. Some drinkers prefer halves to avoid warm flat beer.
