The thing I find hilarious about this is alcohol in the US is often measured in ml, and usually sold at 750 or 1500ml as opposed to quarts

Ohhh, Murikan units, fyi:
1 US quart (qt) = 0.946352946 liters (l)
So, not exactly breakfast, but a nice desert after dinner.

Soda is in ounces until it reaches a liter. Alcohol is ml until you get to 40 ounces. Milk is always pints, half gallons, and gallons. Why?

The real question is why US have fake pints?

Ah I got thrown off by it being a US unit as I know in the US for some braindead reason they call a pint a “half quart(er gallon)” so I was thinking 1.136 litres, but yeah the US decided to not even use the same imperial units as anywhere else which still used them at the time just to be extra special (and scam people into thinking they were getting more than they wore, which sets the tone for the US I guess)

US doesn’t use imperial units, US is using US customary units, or something like that.
