About converting Fluid Ounces (US) to Liters
Fluid Ounces (US) (fl oz) and Liters (L) are both units of volume, so converting between them is a single multiplication: multiply your Fluid Ounces (US) figure by 0.02957. Ten Fluid Ounces (US) comes to 0.2957 Liters, and a hundred works out at 2.9574 Liters.
Rule of thumb: going from Fluid Ounces (US) to Liters divides, so the figure always shrinks — it takes about 33.814 Fluid Ounces (US) to make a single Liter. If your answer came out bigger, you have the conversion the wrong way round.
What is a Fluid Ounce (US)?
A fluid ounce measures volume, not weight, despite sharing a name with the ounce on a kitchen scale — the two are related only loosely, through the weight of water. The US and imperial fluid ounces are different sizes, and counterintuitively the imperial one is the smaller, even though the imperial gallon is the bigger of the two: the imperial gallon divides into 160 fluid ounces, the US gallon into just 128. The gap is small enough to slip past a reader and large enough to matter, which makes it a reliable trap in cocktail recipes and drink can sizes.
What is a Liter?
The liter is not, strictly speaking, an SI unit — it is merely accepted for use alongside SI, and is defined as exactly one cubic decimetre: the volume of a cube ten centimetres on a side. That pedantic status has done nothing to slow it down, since it is how most of the world buys fuel, milk, paint and soft drinks. Both L and l are accepted symbols, but the capital L is preferred in the United States and increasingly elsewhere, because a lowercase l in most typefaces is almost indistinguishable from the digit 1 — a genuine hazard on a dosage label.
To put both in perspective: a US shot of spirits is about one and a half fluid ounces, while a large bottle of soda holds two liters.
