    What is a Fifth? (I know, silly question from an alc)

    I'm in Canada. I know they use the term in the States, and I've seen it on these boards. Just wondering (curious is all) ... is a Fifth a pint? quart? larger bottle? ... How many mls or ounces?

    No real reason for wanting to know other than curiosity, and to understand some of the other posts a little better I suppose.

    Thanks!

    No, not a silly question, at least not for me (from Europe). I've also asked it. But what is it?

          yes, sorry. just saw that it was answered under "why oh why". It's a fifth of a gallon which is 4 litres. So a fifth is less than a litre but more than a half litre... I guess. right?

              I did not see that in the other thread. Thanks! (and here I thought I was probably the only one who didn't know... not feeling so silly anymore - heehe... thanks!)

                What we call a fifth in the U.S. is a 750 ml bottle.

                              A fifth might kill a midget...
