A simple consistency check is proposed for the Fermi liquid description of the low-temperature properties of quasi-two-dimensional metals. In a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi liquid the Zeeman splitting of magnetic oscillations can be used to determine g^*, the gyro-magnetic ratio which is renormalised by many-body effects. It is shown that g^*/g is equal to Wilson's ratio R, the dimensionless ratio of the low-temperature spin susceptibility to the specific heat coefficient. Measured values of g^*/g and R are compared for the layered perovskite Sr2RuO4 and for a range of organic metals based on the BEDT-TTF molecule. It is also shown that the Pauli paramagnetic limiting magnetic field, at which singlet superconductivity should be destroyed by the Zeeman splitting of the electron spins, is changed from the values given by BCS theory by a factor of g^*/g.
