Half of a gill is a jack, or one-eighth of a pint. [1] But in northern England, a quarter pint could also be called a jack or a noggin, rather than a gill, and in some areas a half-pint could be called a gill, particularly for beer and milk.

One US fluid ounce is 1 ⁄ 16 of a US pint, 1 ⁄ 32 of a US quart, and 1 ⁄ 128 of a US gallon. The teaspoon, tablespoon, and cup are defined in terms of a fluid ounce as 1 ⁄ 6 , 1 ⁄ 2 , and 8 fluid ounces respectively.
So whilst the imperial gallon, quart, pint and gill are about 20% larger than are their US fluid measure counterparts, the fluid ounce is about 4% smaller. [ e ] One avoirdupois ounce of water has an approximate volume of one imperial fluid ounce at 62 °F (16.67 °C).
For example a 72 pint container of Greene King IPA currently only has 66 "full" pints of consumable beer that can be sold or drunk, the other 6 pints are sediment, finings, beer stone, hops, proteins or less than an imperial measure and therefore not consumable or saleable.
