I routinely buy my liquor in ml, though I refer to them by non-imperial measure (“a handle”).

- perl4ever 8y agoAs far as I know everything you'd find in a US grocery has the measurements printed in metric and avoirdupois, but sometimes the metric measurement is a round number, and sometimes the other one. If you look at the Wikipedia page about the 2L soda bottle, it states that round metric numbers are rare in the US, but I don't know that this is accurate* - if I look at alcohol on Wal-Mart's web site, it generally seems to be in quantities of 750ml, 1.75L. That's hard liquor, but for example rice cooking wine is also sold in 750ml. Regular wine is standardized on 750ml (occasionally 1.5L) bottles as far as I know. Then there are things that don't make sense in any units - there is a bottle of cooking wine that is 12.9 fl oz and 381 ml. *And it had no citation.
