What is a pint?
A US liquid pint is half a quart, or two cups.
Definition: Exactly one eighth of a US liquid gallon, so exactly 0.473176473 liter.
Where it is used: Beer, cream, berries and ice cream in the US.
Worth knowing: The imperial pint is 568.26 mL — noticeably larger than the US pint's 473 mL, which is why a UK pint of beer is a bigger drink.
What is a milliliter?
A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, and is exactly the same volume as a cubic centimeter.
Definition: Exactly 0.001 liter, which is exactly 1 cm³.
Where it is used: Medicine doses, cosmetics, recipe quantities, and laboratory work.
Worth knowing: 1 mL = 1 cm³ = 1 cc exactly, so these three units are interchangeable.
