    Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Irish Coffee exactly 1.27 coffees?

      When I make an Irish coffee, that’s definetly not what makes it Irish. Though by coincidence it does end up 1.27 times the size of a regular one, on account of the additives.

      No, “irish coffee” is coffee with alcohol in it. At least where I am from.

      it may be

      but the usability is about being common

      if everyone (or almost everyone) used it, it would be useful

      tho, I still like metric better because it matches our base

      but if ppl around you use irish to mean *1.27, go for it
