Just opened my big Singha bottle, which  says 620 ml. Filled the bottle up with water and here is the result.

20 ml less, which is 3.33% they are cheating you out of.

Agreed. I shall do further investigations.

 

I only posted this because a certain other member said that I only whinged but did not start any important threads, like Pie vs Pizza, or underpants when not in your home.  555

Next time weigh the beer.  As water and beer are so close in weight, as are different beers that the difference would be miniscule.  Nothing near 3%, or even 1%.  So round down the difference, and that's what they're cheating you, and you're probably being very generous.

Perhaps the 620ml is what the bottle can actually hold, all beer in bottles has a free space gap in the neck.

Have you noticed that the different Thai brands have a different ml capacity, Archar is the biggest at 630ml..????

620ml is a measure of Volume so the weight does not matter. 620ml of Duckhams 20/50 is the same volume as 620 ml of H2O.

620 ml of water will weigh 620 gm, whereas 620 ml of beer will weigh more, as would 620 ml of Bisto gravy.

That doesn't really make sense, should be in cc's, cubic centimetres as in car engines. But more interesting than Pies v Pizza or Underpants !

It's a long time since I was at school, but is one millilitre the same as one cubic centimetre.

I have not tried it, but on your valued recommendation, I shall be in Makro at 11.01 tomorrow. Are there different ones?

No, just the cheapest, but I find it refreshing, though I can drink near anything, plus my local booze agent likes me, she charges me 250 bht for  6 bottles ...........????

All you SAD, CONFUSED, and LAUGHING emojis mean nothing. Tell me what you think please.

Weigh 620g of water into the same bottle and see if it arrives at the same level, sorry if someone posted this already.

33ml or big un's. 6 x 33 = 2 litres. 

I get 3 x big (620ml) Singhas for Bht 188 from a shop 1km from me. ( And a pretty owner! )

620ml water = 620gr

620ml beer = ~620gr

"One litre of beer corresponds to about one kilogram"

 

Difference is negligible, and not worth noting.

Is the Specific Gravity of Ethanol the same as water?

Dunno, it is negligible. It's the principle of saying it is 620 ml when it is only 600ml.

Big bottles, 630ml x 6 = 3.78 litrs

250 Bht? I'm in for that.

Volume changes with temperature.  Not sure by how much, but a cold beer from the fridge will have smaller volume than a warm one.

 

F1 measures fuel by weight, not volume.

Do as suggested, weigh 620gr of water, and pour in your meauring vessel, than see if beer comes up to same level.

Dunno, but as I said, she likes me, the normal price is 50bht per bottle...So, over the month I save a few quid.......

620 ml/cc of water WILL weigh 620gm, unless it is from a UK water company and contains a certain percent of 5hite. But let's go with bottled water. 

So are you suggesting I take 620 ml of beer, or 620 gm of beer?

Yes, very understandable, thanks. So keep my beer at room temperature and I will get more.

I think it is just the opposite, liquid expands when it get cooled.
