    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…
