" Fifth scotch, a fifth of scotch? OK I give, what's the difference? The two are the same to me!"
You must use a large glass! (A "fifth" is a 750ml bottle, or 4/5 of a quart)
Thanks for the math lesson. :~D
Now here is one for you! A "fifth" (4/5 of a quart) is 25.6 ounces. Therefore if I get 5 drinks out of a fifth, each drink is approx 5.12 ounces. The average orange juice glass is 8 ounces. So......
When you look at it this way, then no, my glass isn't all that large!
Another way to look at it is, if you go to a bar and order a double straight up you get a glass of anywhere between 3 and 4 ounces. So.... my drinks are a double and a half!
Hic! Now if you excuse me, a hear a bottle of Chivas calling me!
