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 Largely superseded by millilitres but still appears in traditional compounding recipes, older US pharmacopeias, and historical medical literature. 1 fl dr ≈ 3.697 mL.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 Deciliters
A deciliter (dL) = 0.1 L = 100 mL - the universal blood-test reporting unit: blood glucose in mg/dL, haemoglobin in g/dL, cholesterol in mg/dL, BAC in g/dL. Normal fasting glucose <100 mg/dL; dangerous BAC >0.3 g/dL. Also the primary volumetric cooking unit in Scandinavian recipes (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland). 1 dL = 0.1 L.
