用法筆記
This sense is very common in British and Irish English. You can say 'I'll have a pint' and people will understand you mean a pint of beer. The word is rarely used this way in American English, where a drink order is usually 'a beer' or specified by brand. Distinguish from sense 1: sense 1 is a general unit of volume; sense 2 refers specifically to a glass of beer ordered at a pub.
