I know that this subject was once talked to death on this listserv,
but US metric liquor sizes leapt out at me from a liquor store window
sign last week. A sale item was quoted per 750 ml bottle, no WOMBAT
stated. Gee, those distillers have gotten into the spirit of the thing!
Of course, the 750 ml thing is the son of the fifth, which was,
technically, 757 ml, precisely one-fifth of a US gallon (3785 ml).
Maybe metrication will succeed if the nation is thoroughly lit while it
is going on <BIG GRIN>.
