I am curious, what are you doing where you need to convert drams to gallons? Making mixed whiskey?

I've actually done this a a lot for work needing to work out operating weights of mechanical equipment and checking existing structures for capacity etc. American equipment with all imperial info and Canadian building design. It's easy to convert, but still annoying.
