      A fifth is 750 mL, a pint is 200 mL, and a half pint is 100 mL. I always assumed it was no coincidence that the amounts in mL are so even, but maybe I’m wrong.

        A US gallon is 3.785L which makes a fifth 757 ml. A pint is 1/8 gallon so ~473 ml.

        An imperial gallon is 4.54609L which makes a fifth 909ml and a pint 568ml.

        If your bartender is giving you 200ml pints you’re really getting ripped off.

        A fifth is 750ml!? There’s no way that’s true. So when someone says they drank a fifth, they drank 750ml of ~*40% alcohol!?? That is wild…

        Sorry, edited.

            Saw a great joke on TikTok the other day:

            Father: “Okay, why did you call me to school?”

            Principal: “Your son was found smashing pumpkins.”

            Father: “What? What’s the big deal? Bring him here, I want to speak to him.”

            Principal: “Alright, bring him in.”

            Father: “What? This isn’t my son.”

            Other Student: “Nah, I’m Pumpkins.”

        Don’t you want your dad to have a little fun once in awhile?

        Also quit spying on us, it’s creepy.
