Question:

What does it mean to take in a 5ths of alcohol?


Answers:
A fifth is one fifth of a gallon (128 oz).

128 / 5 = 25.6 oz

750 mL = 25.36 oz

So a fifth is roughly a 750 mL bottle, which is the standard size you normall see.

1/5 of one gallon.

That's a whole bottle. You could get alcohol poisoning and die.

1/5th

A number of years ago, liquor was sold in pints, fifths, and quarts. A fifth was a fifth of a gallon, a little smaller than a quart.

a "fifth" is 1.75 liters. It's 1/5 of a gallon.

A 5th is the size of most bottles of whiskey and such..It amounts to 4/5 of a quart/ It is not used as much as it use to be but you can sill find liquor in that size bottle.

It means that you drank too much and should seek medical attention.
