  There definitely is some major messiness with the system, but: 4 fluid drams in a Tablespoon (No 0.5Tbps unit?) 2 Tablespoons in a fluid ounce 4 fluid ounces in a gill (No 0.5 gill unit?) 2 gills in a cup 2 cups in a pint 2 pints in a quart 2 quarts in a half gallon 2 half gallons in a gallon 63 gallons in a hogshead Okay, yeah, there's a lot of messy units outside of this series, and some holes. We have the apothecaries' system, the avoirdupois system, the customary system. A hundredweight is 112 LBs because a Stone is 14 rather than 10. A mile is some number of feet I always have to look up.
