Pints and Quarts


At local  taverns, pubs, and bars, people drank from pint and quart-sized containers. A bar maid's job was to keep an eye on the  customers and keep the drinks coming. She  had to pay close attention and remember who was drinking in "pints" and who was drinking in "quarts,"  hence the term "minding your "P's and Q's."
