You should take a look at the unit pricing on the supermarket shelves (assuming supermarkets sell alcohol in your state).
Safeway and several others show their unit pricing for wine and liquor in oz. (Not even fl. oz., but oz. Fl. oz. would be correct, but still stupid.) I used to send diplomatically-worded emails about it to some of them, but never got a meaningful or positive response. I could send blunt emails, but that would be counterproductive. I've only ever found one manager in a supermarket who knew anything about the metric system -- and the one I found was, in fact, vehemently in favor of SI. Unfortunately, he was only one of the junior managers -- with zero influence. Of course, if he gets a series of promotions, he might have the power to make some changes..
