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.

Tablespoon (UK) (tbsp (UK))

The UK tablespoon traditionally equals 15 mL, though older definitions ranged from 17.7 to 25 mL depending on period and context. In modern British cooking, the tablespoon is standardized at 15 mL, aligning it with the metric tablespoon used in many countries. This measure remains essential in culinary arts for oils, spices, flavorings, and liquid ingredients, demonstrating how some units survive because of convenience and cultural familiarity, even in highly metricized societies.
