Ireland also went metric. We switched road speed limits in 2006ish, so all the signs say "km/hr" so you don't forget (it's also helpful to tell when you cross the border unto hr uk). Beer is sold in 568ml (1 pint), but milk is sold in litres.

It's quite interesting in Australia that you buy a pint of beer if it's in a glass (or a pot, which is much smaller or schooner, pronounced 'skooner', which is a bit smaller), but bottles are never sold as imperial are generally 375mL.

In England cans of cider are 500 mL. Honestly I don't really think a pint is a unit (except for old people buying milk?), it's a descriptor like "a glass" or "a pitcher" that just happens to have a legally required size. I have an idea roughly how much a pint is but I wouldn't requisition three pints of hydrofluoric acid.
