About Fluid Ounces
A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a US customary volume unit equal to 1/8 of a cup or 1/128 of a gallon - approximately 29.574 mL. Despite sharing a name with the weight unit 'ounce', fluid ounces measure volume, not mass. In the US, beverages are universally labeled in fluid ounces: a standard can of soda is 12 fl oz, a standard wine pour is 5 fl oz, and a shot of spirits is 1.5 fl oz. Note that the UK imperial fluid ounce (28.413 mL) differs slightly from the US fluid ounce (29.574 mL) - a common source of confusion in international recipes and product comparisons.

Once the standard tavern measure for spirits and wine, now mainly found in traditional recipes, historical distillery records, and Scottish whisky contexts where pub measures were defined in gill fractions. 1 US gi ≈ 118.3 mL; 1 UK gi ≈ 142.1 mL.
