Some tourists coming to Austria from Countries like Ireland, GB, or the US might have issues with the Metric system, and the way how the size of Beer glasses work.
For very thirsty people you can order in a Austrian pub a "halbe Bier" which is 0,5 litre of the golden stuff. As you see on the left, I nearly finished mine there.
If you are less thirsty you would go for a "Seiterl Bier" which is 0.3 litre. And when you are really in a hurry, or just need a quick refreshment you would order a "Pfiffal Bier" which is only 0.125 litre of beer as shown on the right. Seriously, one nip and its gone. But it does look cute, does it ?
When a barmen really likes you, but he wants to close the pub since its late, he might offer you a "Maul voll" which means a mouth full and its about half of the Pfiffal so he is sure you leave soon and sound. This tradition only applies to some regions in Austria, mainly in the Alpine ones.
If you want to know now how much the above units are in yours, check out this great website on which you can convert all kind of units.
