Drink               | Space | Human | volume of SS13 drink compared to Earth
bottle of beer      | 500mL | 350mL | 1.4x
shotglass           | 150mL | 50mL  | 3x
old-fash w/ 1/2 ice | 100mL | 60mL  | 1.7x

Wine glass 1/2 full | 150mL | 150mL | 1x

I feel like this is an underlying cause behind some of the weirdness. A unit really isn't defined that well across the various containers that are supposed to hold them. I'd guess a lot of stuff is balanced around syringes and beakers, but those are equal in unit size to shot glasses and standard drinking glasses. 

I assume the drinking glass is a 16 Oz Pint, or 473mL, so 50 units or 500mL makes sense in terms of rounding up, but shot glasses can hold anywhere between 1 oz (29.57 mL) to 3 oz (88.72 mL) of liquid and syringes don't typically go above more than a few mL

A 1u to 10mL conversion would mean syringes were holding 150mL. Here's a 60mL syringe for comparison
