I would have no problem with quaffing my draught ale by the half litre,
provided that it was a good real ale and had been carefully cellared at 55 deg
F. It would, of course, be illegal for the pub to sell it in that volume, that
law has been in place since 1699. I might complain of short measure if the
publican gave me a 16oz pint though :-)
