About these units
Drop (drop)
The drop is one of the oldest fluid measures and originally referred simply to the amount of liquid that naturally forms at the end of a dripping vessel. Because drop size depends on viscosity, surface tension, temperature, and orifice size, early medicine found drops inconsistent and unreliable. Modern medicine and chemistry sometimes define a drop as 0.05 mL, but this is only a convention used for standardized droppers—real drops can vary significantly. Despite its imprecision, the drop survives in everyday language, aromatherapy, essential oils, and household instructions ("add a few drops"). It exemplifies humanity's earliest attempts to quantify small volumes before scientific instrumentation enabled precise micro-measurement.
Gill (US) (gi)
The US gill equals 118.294 mL, representing one-quarter of a US pint. Historically used in measuring alcoholic beverages, the gill once played a significant role in tavern regulations, distilling, and bartending. Its usage declined sharply after Prohibition and continued to fade as ounces and milliliters became preferred for drink recipes and consumer packaging. However, some old cocktail manuals still specify gills, and certain traditional American spirits were originally bottled in gill-based volumes. The gill illustrates the rich historical diversity of volumetric units in American culinary and beverage culture.
