Medicine is in metric except for the entire bottle of liquid medicine. How many 30ml doses are in an 8oz bottle of nyquil?

We have 2 liter bottles of coke, but also 16oz if you just want to drink now.

Don't ask about cooking measurements we don't get it either and everyone who questions it turns into flour within the week.

Liquor sizes: 375ml 750ml 1.75L Wine: 750ml 1.5L

Anyone who asks for a pint or a half gallon at a liquor store is just wrong (unless they want beer)
