About Fluid Drams
A fluid dram (fl dr, also 'drachm') = 1/8 fl oz ≈ 3.697 mL. Used by apothecaries for precise medicinal compounding; a fluid dram divided into 60 minims. Largely superseded by millilitres but still appears in traditional compounding recipes, older US pharmacopeias, and historical medical literature. 1 fl dr ≈ 3.697 mL.
About Centiliters

French wine pours: 15 cL (half-glass) or 25 cL; a European spirits shot = 4 cL (40 mL). EU Packaging Directive mandates cL or mL labelling on all pre-packaged beverages. 1 cL = 0.01 L = 10 mL.
