Source argument
Deena Sayers emphasizes the social intention of slowly enjoying a dram rather than rapidly taking a shot.
Evidence map
Researcher synthesis
The glossary should distinguish historical mass/fluid units from a nonstandard colloquial serving. Recipe and trial measurements should use explicit millilitres or ounces, never an assumed dram.
Assessment
Unit systems are conflated and ounce type unspecified; country serving conventions are generalized. Etymology and legal measures require authoritative checking. Prestige/cheap-whiskey language is interviewee opinion, not an editorial standard we need to adopt. Makulov stock photograph reviewed; it contains no volume scale.
Check dictionary and measurement references before a definitive glossary entry. No change to trial measures or alcohol-serving recommendations.
Completion checklist
Visual review and coverage closeout — September 12, 2026
The single stock photograph shows liquid poured into an ungraduated glass. It does not supply a scale or establish a dram's volume. Keep historical mass/fluid units separate from colloquial pours; the photo cannot resolve the text's ounce-system ambiguity.
