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.
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 Largely superseded by millilitres but still appears in traditional compounding recipes, older US pharmacopeias, and historical medical literature. 1 fl dr ≈ 3.697 mL.
