The traditional Russian measurement system included two cup sizes, one of which, the "charka" (cup proper), was usually used for alcoholic drinks and measured 123 ml (4.2 US fl oz; 4.3 imp fl oz), while another, "stakan" ("glass") was twice as big at 246 ml (8.3 US fl oz; 8.7 imp fl oz) and used for other liquids.
When metrication was introduced in the 1970s, the Reputed Pint (13.33 imp oz [378 mL]) and Imperial Pint (20 imp oz [568 mL]) were replaced with the 375 mL half bottle. Schooner (UK) 378.84 mL: 12.8 US fl oz: 13.33 imp oz: 2 ⁄ 3 of an imperial pint. Metric measurement glasses usually round up to 380 mL (13.374 or ≈13.4 imp oz). Schooner ...
The US fluid ounce is based on the US gallon, which in turn is based on the wine gallon of 231 cubic inches that was used in the United Kingdom prior to 1824.

This second variation is commonly seen in a double-thimble or "hourglass" form, with two metal cups of different volumes (often in a 3:2 or 2:1 ratio, like a U.S. standard 1.5 fl oz "jigger" and 1 fl oz "pony", or UK standard 25/50mL or 35/70mL combos) spot-welded to each other at their relative bottom surfaces, possibly with a handle between ...
For nutritional labeling and medicine in the US, the teaspoon and tablespoon are defined as a metric teaspoon and tablespoon—precisely 5 mL and 15 mL respectively.
