COMMENT FROM AN ITALIAN READER:
"In Italy we use the quantity expressed in liter, half a liter, 0,33 liter and 0,20 liter. So avoid asking for a 'pint': the waiter will ask you how much, or you can order the quantity looking at the menu chart."

AND FROM ANOTHER ITALIAN READER:
"I am from Milan and in every pub in town (you'll find a lot of them) you can ask for a 'pinta' (Italian for pint) and they will pick up a pint glass to serve you Tennents (all of them), Bass, Guinness, Harp and many more. If you happen to be in a restaurant or in a less cosmopolitan place, you won't ask anyway for a half liter, a third, etc!! It's enough to ask for a 'media' (medium size) and you'll get a bit less than 0.5 liters, which is equivalent (surprise surprise) to a pint!!"
