About these units
Dram (dr)
The fluid dram is a small historical unit equal to 1/8 of a US fluid ounce or 3.6967 mL (US), with slightly different imperial values. It originated in apothecaries and early pharmaceutical texts, where drams measured potent liquid medicines, tinctures, and extracts. In daily life, drams appeared in old cocktail recipes, medicinal syrups, and household remedies. However, the inconsistency between US and UK drams, along with the rise of the metric system, pushed it out of modern use. Today, the dram survives mostly in whiskey culture—where a "dram" informally means a small pour, not a precise measurement—and in historical studies of medicine.
Log (Biblical) (log)
A log is one of the smallest Biblical liquid measures, approximately 0.3–0.35 liters, or about the volume of a modern cup. Used for oil, wine, and ceremonial purposes, logs appear in priestly regulations for cleansing rituals and sacrificial requirements. The small size reflects its use in precise ritual acts where exact quantities mattered symbolically and practically. Its endurance in rabbinic literature and historical scholarship attests to the precision of ancient ritual systems.
