In the US, wine now comes in liters and 750ml volumes.  We still have a
"fifth" of whiskey, but it's normally rounded off to the nearest 50ml
increment.

The growth of the drug culture, however, has done more to familiarize
the younger generation with metric measurements than anything else. 
Alcohol
and illicit drugs are probably the two most familiar things the average
American sees in metric measurements.
