Quote:Was at a party a few days ago and the lone American there brought 10 12 oz cans. Was resoundingly slagged by all in attendance for drinking lady cans. Didn't know that's the normal can size in the U.S of A!

 

But what difference does it make how many cans the beer is in though?  I actually think it has to do with that system where they try to calculate what one unit of alcohol or what one drink is.  They equate 12 oz of beer with one shot of liquor with 1 glass of wine ... Some kind of system to determine how much alcohol you are drinking regardless of what you are drinking.  Obviously, it's a flawed system. 

 

But can someone explain why domestic bottles are typically 12 oz, whereas imported European bottles are typically 11.2 oz?
