## What are pints and cups?

Pints and cups are two customary units of volume, most popular in the US, UK, and Ireland. They are widespread when we talk (or write) about food and drinks: to tell how much beer you drank last night or to explain how much water (or other liquid) or rice is needed in a recipe.

Before we explain how to convert pints to cups, let's mention that pints are often abbreviated as "pt" and cups as "c" or "C". That's why the pint to cup conversion is sometimes denoted briefly as "pt to c" conversion.

The relationship between cups and pints and other related units is the following:
