The standard drink varies significantly from country to country. For example, it is 7.62 ml (6 grams) of alcohol in Austria, but in Japan it is 25 ml (19.75 grams): In the United Kingdom, there is a system of units of alcohol which serves as a guideline for alcohol consumption. A single unit of alcohol is defined as 10 ml. The number of units ...
A metric fifth of Dewar's Scotch whisky. A fifth is a unit of volume formerly used for wine and distilled beverages in the United States, equal to one fifth of a US liquid gallon, or 25 + 3 ⁄ 5 U.S. fluid ounces (757 milliliters); it has been superseded by the metric bottle size of 750 mL, [1] sometimes called a metric fifth, which is the standard capacity of wine bottles worldwide and is ...
The 1963 act formalized the legal measures by which spirits and other alcoholic beverages should be dispensed, namely 1 ⁄ 4, 1 ⁄ 5 or 1 ⁄ 6 gill (36, 28 or 24 ml), but this was replaced in 1985 when 25 ml or 35 ml were permitted. [5]
BuzzFeed collected McDonald's cups from different countries to see just how they compared -- and (un)surprisingly, cups in the USA were the biggest by far. In America, a small drink is 16 oz., a ...
But in northern England, a quarter pint could also be called a jack or a noggin, rather than a gill, and in some areas a half-pint could be called a gill, particularly for beer and milk. [3] [4] [5] In Scotland, there were additional sizes: [6] big gill = 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 gills (213.1 mL) wee gill = 3 ⁄ 4 gill (106.5 mL) wee half gill = 3 ⁄ 8 ...

“Many individuals don’t pour an actual serving size (5 ounces for wine, 12 ounces for beer, 1.5 ounces for spirits), so when we say ‘a drink’ for many individuals, it could be 1.5 or 2 ...
For example, to make 100 mL of 50% alc/vol ethanol solution, water would be added to 50 mL of ethanol to make up exactly 100 mL. Whereas to make a 50% v/v ethanol solution, 50 mL of ethanol and 50 mL of water could be mixed but the resulting volume of solution will measure less than 100 mL due to the change of volume on mixing, and will contain ...
