Additions needed[edit]

This page could use alot more additions, ie a mickey, 26er etc

What? No keg? No pony keg??? C'mon! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.82.118.67 (talk) 07:44, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keg and pony keg have been added. Query whether the article should cover informal conventions (? mickey) or be limited to official or commercial standards? J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 15:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Globalization Tag: Why No "English" Columns?[edit]

The article suffers from a Eurocentric bias, in that it list only imperial and metric measures (with an occasional "U.S." measure thrown into the "Imperial" column). Most people in the United States—a significant portion of English Wikipedia's audience and the alcohol-consuming public—use English measures, which differ significantly from the similarly-named imperial measures used in the UK. See Imperial and US customary measurement systems. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 15:11, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite article[edit]

The article's format for various classes of measurement (i.e., beer, wine, spirits) should be standardized.
The "Other" section, which contains only the gill, should be merged with the "Liquor" section, since the gill is used in measuring spirits.
All charts should include a column for English (or "U.S. Customary") measure. It appears at present that several of the measures in the "Imperial" column are actually English, not imperial.
The caption to the picture of a glass of beer (currently "Man Drink") should be changed to indicate the capacity of the glass.

(agreed, it's a very sexist remark that doesn't belong here 173.218.48.139 (talk) 01:21, 19 February 2014 (UTC)rchrdcrg)[reply]

My objection isn't the alleged sexism (beer is more popular among men than among women, isn't it?) but the inappropriate levity and uninformative nature of the caption. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 18:50, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The table of liquor measurements absurdly lists "U.S. Name" but only imperial and metric measures. It should include the English measures used in the U.S. as well.
The article needs more and better citations to authority throughout.
The measures given in this article should be compared and reconciled with those in related articles, such as Imperial and US customary measurement systems, Imperial units, English units, English brewery cask units, and English wine cask units. There appear to be many inconsistencies.

I feel like many of the notes listed in the tables can be listed in paragraphs below. The notes column in tables could be removed altogether, and replaced with "equivalent measures" in some instances, so that the historical background of some measurements can be detailed in a paragraph about history. __Echidna1290 (talk) 01:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move the 40oz to in use instead of obsolete[edit]

In the obsolete liquor bottle section, the 40oz is in there. I was wondering if it should be moved off of there and onto the normal list since it is still a very common type of liquor bottle used in Canada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4B00:8225:EC00:A944:D7DA:5EE0:BD50 (talk) 22:37, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
