    My past popped up...

    One of the things I'm doing lately is a thorough mucking out of my house. I have donated dozens of large boxes to goodwill!! Anyway I was cleaning out my hutch where I store table linens and found a fifth of vodka I had stashed at some point. I don't remember (duh!) but it wasn't a usual hiding spot... I'm glad my first thought wasn't to take a swig! I'll admit I haven't poured it out, but at the first sign of temptation, I would.

      That's scary when old hiding places reveal themselves! I agree, down the drain it goes.

        Released, DON'T wait for that first sign of temptation, it will find you in a weakened state, do as Nancy has said and pour it down the sink now while you are feeling strong, we know what we are talking about...

        Go on do it !!!

              :H Sponge Bob is my daughter favorite! I'll have to tell her that Sponge Bob likes my legs! Now I'm always going to think of Patrick as Alcohol... I picked my name to RELEASE myself from the addiction so I let Alcohol (now know as Patrick) go! :H

              I think a fifth is about 1 liter?

                typically we refer to a 750 ml as a fifth, kind of a slang term...

                  There was me thinking you lots drinking fifths were like drinking a glass tumbler full or something ...not 750mls !!! I wondered why you were complaining I thought - that's not much ?

                  Nearly as bad as me then !!! LOL
                  I feel as though it's all happening to someone right next to me.
                  I'm close, I can feel it, I can hear it, but it isn't really me.

                    Fifths do sound small. I used to drink my pints (375 ml) of vodka & for the longest time thought they were fifths because of the cute "name". Yup-I'm not good at math.

                      Quick look online and found
                      "A fifth of liquor, by the way, is a fifth of a gallon (25.6 fluid ounces)."
                      Another site said "A fifth of liquor is enough to kill you."

                      I'll bet some of us have proven that one wrong. uch:

                          I'm sure a lot of us have proven that theory wrong. Myself included in the good ole days. Rum was not a friend of mine.

                            Hi Released and :welcome: ,

                            I don't think I've seen a post from you before I'm sorry.

                            Well done for pouring it away, that was a good move.

                            And I must say that all this time I've been thinking a fifth was 375mls too, It never registered before that it was a "fifth" of something, so now it makes sense that it was a gallon.

                              Thank you, Kitty. I read alot of the posts but am a little shy (without my fifth! :H), I'm trying to go beyond my comfort zone and post more.
