In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down." It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's"
Can't remember the last time I ordered a quart!
I like interesting (!) bits like that to bring up in conversations lol
got any more?
In our local you can buy jugs of 4 pints of ale so in a round about way I suppose we are ordering 2 quarts!?!?!
Shame you can't get quarts of vodka, lime and lemonade...maybe I'll suggest it to the landlord
