There are establishments here in the US that sell 'pounders' of 'beer',
i.e. 16oz. glasses. The reference is usually to something that only
loosely resembles beer - we're back to sex-in-a-canoe jokes here.
Establishments that server real beer most often refer to them as pints,
although there is evidence some are only 14oz.

Never was. You always did use weird pints. They were *our* bloody
silly measure, until we adopted something more sensible and easier to
use...
And *nobody* else uses pounds, Fahrenheit or MM-DD-YY. Not in about 2
generations, mostly. Often more.
I do!
