Yanks: wtf is a 5th?
 

in volume terms?

on another board guys are talkign bout the fine hobby fo alcohol consumption and they're like: yeah I drank a 5th of jack last night and one time I done X amount of 5ths of vodka....

speak english and tell me what it is in nice metrics. (that's ml for the mentally challenged of us)

what does an ounce convert to too? I'm trying to build up a cocktail port folio but everything I've came across is in ounces.

:shock: you use metric system ?? :shock: wow I thought noone use that neither in Uk nor in the usa.. I can't help you sorry ... I don"'t understand anything to the non metric system :oops:

According to dictionary.com:

1: a quantity of liquor equal to one fifth of a United States gallon

A US gallon is 4 quarts
A US quart is 32 oz liquid measure

so a fifth is approx 25.6 oz of liquor.

Enough to knock you flat on your ass :D

BUT WTF DOES AN OUNCE EQUATE TO YOU YANKEE DOG? :evil:

Generally - whole bottles of hard booze (in this country) are sold as fifths. So a fifth is an entire bottle.

If a quart is 32 oz and a fifth is 25.6 oz then a fifth is 0.8 quarts. A quart ia 0.946 liters - so 0.8 X .946 = .757 liters.

That about 3/4 of a liter to you - you british dog.

Look up the conversions and figure it out yourself. LOL :P

758ml so it's just a bit more than a bottle.

I'm practicing being a lazy yank so i can get huge and sue airlines n theme parks n stuff for discriminating against me.

WOW very useful .. THANK YOU !!! :D
