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.

About Milliliters

A milliliter (mL) is one thousandth of a liter (0.001 L) and exactly equal to one cubic centimeter (cc/cm³). It is one of the most commonly used units in everyday life - standard medicine doses, cooking measurements, and beverage labels all reference milliliters. A standard teaspoon holds about 5 mL, a tablespoon 15 mL, and a standard wine glass typically 150-250 mL. The milliliter is the workhorse of liquid measurement in medicine, cooking, chemistry, and consumer products worldwide, bridging the gap between the full liter and laboratory-scale measurements.
