And how many pints in a gallon, this gets to be a PITA.

How many fl oz in a pint ? It's different if it's a US or Imperial pint.

Then again.....

A pint of beer in Australia or New Zealand is 570 mL, except in South Australia
where a pint is 425 mL and 570 mL is called an imperial pint.

A 375 mL bottle of liquor in the US and the Canadian maritime provinces is
referred to as a “pint”, hearkening back to the days when liquor came in actual
US pints, quarts, and half-gallons.

United Kingdom, Commonwealth of Nations (Imperial)
1 pint = 20 fluid ounces = 568.26125 mL ? 568 mL

United States
1 pint (wet) = 16 fluid ounces = 2 cups ? 473 mL

I should point out that litres should actually be written as a lower case l
(letter L) in fact.
