Wine and liquor are metric only and have been for many years. Beer is required to have U.S. Customary labeling, with optional metric in parentheses.
I wasn't aware of the ATF having anything to do with the regulations on quantity labeling. However, I'll leave it to someone who actually knows, one way or the other, to address that issue.

I haven't purchased alcohol in some time, but I seem to remember that hard liquor and wine are already labelled in metric-only. Beer may be a different story.
