Jug

A jug is a type of container commonly used to hold and serve liquids, but not normally to drink from directly.

In British English, jugs are pouring vessels for holding drinkable liquids, whether beer, water or soft drinks.

Several other types of containers are also called jugs, depending on locale, tradition, and personal preference.

[1] In certain countries, especially New Zealand and Australia, a "jug" refers to a plastic container filled with two pints (just over a litre) of beer.

In addition to the typical definition, a variety of other containers designed for carrying liquid are sometimes called "jugs".
