About the US gill

Pour a quarter of a pint and the result is a gill, a small liquid measure that is now mostly a matter for spirits and old books. In the United States the gill is 4 fluid ounces, about 118.3 mL, because the US pint is 16 fluid ounces. The British imperial gill is a quarter of the larger imperial pint: 5 imperial fluid ounces, about 142.1 mL, so the two countries' gills differ by roughly a fifth.

Local usage added more variety. Pub spirit measures in Britain and Ireland were fractions of a gill: 1/6 gill (23.7 mL) in England and Wales, 1/4 gill (35.5 mL) in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and 1/5 gill (28.4 mL) on the Isle of Man until 2022. In northern England a half pint was sometimes called a gill. After metrication most British pubs moved to 25 or 35 mL. NIST gives the US gill as 0.118294 L.
