Half
의미: 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.

The half-pint has always been available alongside the pint in British pubs. It's traditionally been seen as the 'ladies' drink' (a sexist association now fading) or for those who can't handle a full pint. Modern attitudes are more accepting.
