A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

In Canada at least, most restaurants serve beer in 18oz glasses unless otherwise stated, so I’m gonna assume that’s what they do in the States too, which I’m guessing is where this meme is from. So 18*14=252oz, which is 7.45L. So basically what you said.
Shrinkflation. A pint in Canada is supposed to be 20 oz. In USA it's 16.
Yeah, the 18oz “pint” really bugs me, but unfortunately it’s everywhere. It’s an exception if it’s 20oz, not the norm. Last night actually I was at a restaurant that was trying to pass off 17oz as a pint. If it wasn’t so expensive I wouldn’t mind it, but at least where I live, 18oz goes north of $9 most places, it’s crazy. There’s only one restaurant nearby that sells beer at a decent price, so that’s basically the only place I go these days if I want a drink other than at home.
Sheesh. Glad I'm sober these days.
Chuck’s Roadhouse is pretty good for beer prices. IIRC, it’s:
12oz - $3 18oz - $5
That could be slightly off but you get the idea. They’ve got a 30ish oz pitcher too that’s probably only $15 or something. I can’t remember now but it was very cheap. I don’t go to Chucks a ton, the food is decent (not great but decent) and well priced, I just don’t usually eat out, but my wife loves restaurants so Chucks has become our go-to now because of pricing. Life is expensive, all that jazz. Point is, I can get a small beer for $3 which is completely unheard of elsewhere. Yeah it’s only 12oz but it’s still a good deal, and I can get drunk at home if I really want. I don’t like getting beer drunk anyway, I always feel miserable that way.
I found out apparently Crabby Joes has cheap cocktails too. $8 for a 2oz old fashioned is pretty cheap around here. Still cheaper to make at home, but I’m glad some places still exist with a drink menu for the budget-conscious.
