    a very simple google search and you have your answer.

    I never knew exactly what it meant either, but I do know the size and what they look like and that I hate getting fifths of anything and would much rather buy handles.

    Interesting. I always thought it meant a fifth of a liter.
    Take time to see the sky,
    Find shapes in the clouds.
    Hear the murmur of the wind
    and touch the cool water.
    Walk softly,
    we are intruders,
    tolerated briefly
    In an infinite universe.

    in the uk a pint is 20 ounces. Gallon is 160 ounces (imperial gallon). In the US it is 16 ounces to the pint. Gallon is 128 ounces. A fifth of spirits in the US is 32 ounces therefore a fifth of a imperial gallon.

    Gank is not a measurement - it's stealing. Like, you got ganked for your fifth of vodka.

    Perhaps you're thinking of when Snoop says "gang of tanqueray," in Gin & Juice, with "gang" meaning a lot.

    I think if you have to ask, you shouldn't be allowed to have any.

    BTW, that was 7500

    way too late for that!!! they told me JD would put hair on my chest - they were right!!!!!

    i tend to DRINK alcohol, not think about how many fluid ounces are involved...but when people say a "fifth" it made me wonder if that is more or less than i typically consume in a setting

    fifth of vodka is 50 mililitres, as I know. And I know, because it's a half of "hundred=shot" of vodka, which means hundred mililitres (I know how it looks like... and taste...awfully!).

    Well. at least in my country
