  Ireland and the UK use the imperial pint in pubs. Everything else in Ireland at least is metric for liquids.

  Speaking for NL:

  25cl is a “Flute” locally (fluit) 50cl is a “Small Vase” (vaasje)

  If you ask for “A small pilsner” (pilsje) you’d normally get the 25cl or sometimes the 33cl glass of the beer on tap.

    I think vaasje is actually 25, maybe 30cl? (certainly not half a liter). fluit is even smaller; 20 perhaps?

      You are correct, my bad! Thanks for pointing it out :)

  There are various regional names for 50cl, but “pint” is common, since it’s quite close.

  In France, for beer, it would be a “baron” , while 1l would be a “formidable”.
