There are indeed better options.
Plus-Gas is vastly superior to WD40. I first encountered it in the hangars at Heathrow nearly 50 years ago and I'm pleased to say that it's still available.

Beer and lager is sold in 440ml cans. 440ml / 568ml = 0.77 pints

It's also sold in 330ml cans, which is just a disappointment really.

SOme lagers are a disappointment from start to finish
so having a disappointing size is a good warning of the experience to come!

I've found that it's generally the stronger and more flavourful stuff that's in the small cans which is fine by me.
But Heineken do them too...

I raised the original question because my local bar stopped selling Red Stripe on draught and replaced it with a lager that tastes like peaches. I started buying cans of Red Stripe instead. I've just realized that they work out at £6.25 a pint!

A shop assistant I talk to in a local supermarket told me that her grandson was born on the 16th of November just gone, the date after my birthday, albeit quite a few years later. 
I mentioned to her that this was the date when the actor Clark Gable died in 1960, the day after I was born. I'm a bit of a believer in reincarnation, either the whole spirit or traits of a certain person that become you, or part of you. My question is does reincarnation happen at conception or at birth? I ask because if say Clark Gable had died on the day I was born and not the day after, would/could he have become me, or would he have had to have died in the previous February on the day I was conceived.🤔

Why do we pronounce 'quixotic' as kwick-sottic and not key-ho-tic?

the simple answer is... there is no reincarnation.

In 2011, the UK government reduced the duty on beers with an ABV of 2.8% or below, but only if they were sold in containers of 440ml or less.
