About these units
Cup (US) (cup (US))
A US cup equals 8 fluid ounces, or approximately 236.588 mL. It is indispensable in American cooking, baking, and beverage measurement. Although not an SI unit, the cup remains deeply entrenched in recipes, cookbooks, and kitchen culture. Its intuitive size makes it ideal for measuring flour, sugar, liquids, and many everyday ingredients. American cups differ from metric and UK cups, leading to variation across international recipes, but within the US culinary tradition, the cup is a central volumetric tool.
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.
