Is a 5th the same as 750 ml
It's nowhere near a half gallon.So what's the fifth whiskey?If you calculate it in ounces, it should measure 25.36 ounces, around 17 shots.Having said that, most jiggers (used to measure shots) sold in the u.s.In utah, a shot is legally defined as 1.5 ounces, which converts to about 44.36 ml.
A fifth of alcohol today refers to a 750 ml bottle of spirits.With metrication of the spirits industry, i don't think a fifth is used any more for a bottle size.Some call it metric fifth, while others call it 25, as that equals 1/5 of a liquid gallon.
