My dad always said a lady does not drink pints, smoke in public or swear in public. So no. I would not drink pints, if I am out with my daughter she always asks for a pint and I get her two halves.
I would drink a pint, if it was on offer, sometimes a pint is only a little more than an half.
My bf does not like me to have a pint as he says it looks abit rough/common.
