It is the non-metric units for volume that really turn into a shitfest. I grew up in America, went to public schools, learned to cook from American cookbooks, and still can't keep all of them straight. Pints in a gallon? Quarts in a gallon? Quarts in a pint? Teaspoons in a cup? Cups in a pint? Who fucking knows? The best I can do is a pint is roughly how much beer you get at a bar (but that changes from region to region!) and milk comes in a gallon while other beverages do not.
