About these units
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.
Decistere (decistere)
A decistere equals 0.1 stere, or 0.1 cubic meters, commonly used when selling smaller amounts of firewood or measuring smaller timber volumes. Homeowners purchasing wood for fireplaces or stoves may find the decistere a more appropriate unit than the stere, because it matches typical household needs. Though not an SI unit, the decistere fits comfortably within the metric system, demonstrating how hybrid traditional-metric units survive in niche contexts.
