      But liquor comes in shots, cups, pints, fifths, and handles?

              Saw a great joke on TikTok the other day:

              Father: “Okay, why did you call me to school?”

              Principal: “Your son was found smashing pumpkins.”

              Father: “What? What’s the big deal? Bring him here, I want to speak to him.”

              Principal: “Alright, bring him in.”

              Father: “What? This isn’t my son.”

              Other Student: “Nah, I’m Pumpkins.”

          Don’t you want your dad to have a little fun once in awhile?

          Also quit spying on us, it’s creepy.

        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…

          Sorry, edited.
