I think a gill is a half of a half-pint. In other words, a quarter pint.
This is an old drinking song that I learned in the pub when I was in England many years ago, hahahahaha!
Now here's jolly good luck to the quarter gill
Good luck to the Barley Mow
Jolly good luck to the quartergill
Good luck to the Barley Mow
Now here's jolly good luck to the half gill
Good luck to the Barley Mow
Jolly good luck to the half gill
Good luck to the Barley Mow
Now here's jolly good luck to the gill pot
Good luck to the Barley Mow
Jolly good luck to the gill pot
Good luck to the Barley Mow
similarly:
half pint
pint pot
quart pot
half gallon
gallon
half bushel
bushel
half barrel
barrel
bar maid
land lady
land lord
brewerie
company
You drink between every verse, so when you finish the song you are plastered. hahahah! I don't do that much any more, like the last time was around 1965.

No its a smaller measure that used to be in normal use for alcoholic drinks. Its 142 ml which is about the same as a glass of wine. A third of a gill used be a short measure for drinks like whiskey and gin
