I have just trained myself to like fruit based alcoholic beverages.

Alex has that exact same kind of glass! All tall and thin, like.

It's the standard glass for a 'Halbe', which is roughly a pint.
Those Lidl bags in the background are quite picturesque. Is that in Berlin?
Is it like a pint and a half or something?..

Fruli.

It just tasted like every other beer I've ever had a little taste of. Eugh.

Half a litre, a bit less than a pint.
Oh!
I am not good with measurements.

Yes, it was right across the street from the Siegessaeule. Hopefully Google spelled that somewhat correctly.

Nor I! I have next to no concept of any measurements at all. I know that a bottle of Coke is 2 litres, a can is 330 ml, and of course I have a rough idea about a pint of milk. But that's it. Anything else, be it volume, length, or mass, and I get confused.
That's what you get from being stuck in an education system where the teachers grew up with imperial, and are being forced to teach metric, and doing so exclusively.

Less than an imperial pint, more than a U.S. pint. Just to complicate things even more ...
You have different pints?

Different pints, gallons, tons and God knows what else.
From Wikipedia: The pint is an English unit of volume or capacity in the imperial system and United States customary units. The imperial version is 20 imperial fluid ounces and is equivalent to 568 mL, while the U.S. version is 16 U.S. fluid ounces and is equivalent to 473 mL.
Flipping heck.
They just haaaaaad to be different.

Tell me about it - these German beer bottles are 330mL (11.2 U.S. ounces) instead of the standard 12 ounces. I lose almost half a bottle of beery goodness per 6-pack!
Just stepped outside to watch the beginning of the sunset. It was a good one.
