A dram (plural drams), written in game as a yellow {{qud char|&W|$}} or a cyan {{qud char|&C|$}} is one unit of liquid volume. The liquid capacity of all containers is measured in drams.

The liquid capacity of all containers is measured in drams. At the same time, drams is also used as the unit of currency, where one dram of fresh [[water]] is the base unit of all transactions. | ||

The weight system truncates any decimal points, so 3 drams of liquid will equal 0 pounds in game. Because of this linear tie with volume and weight, each liquid is presumed to have the same density. | ||
