Imperial doesn't use multiplicative prefixes very much.

Instead, they would invent a new random unit, the skyscraper, which is equal to a random number of horses, like 176.

And then everyone goes "Yeah, a skyscraper is 176 horses, everyone knows that."

Energy drinks

My problem with this is that mixing all of these would necessarily average out the caffeine/vitamin contents of all the parts, which would then necessarily be less than whichever ingredient had the most.

Nonono, alcohol tolerance is a function of the creature's weight, and it works perfectly.

The problem was the amount of alcohol that would get transferred on their paws when walking on spilled booze. If the alcohol was spilled from a mug, then the game would place the equivalent of a full mug of booze on each paw, which would then be ingested when the cat cleaned them.

Four full mugs of beer would be more than enough to waste anything the size of a cat.
