How many ounces are in a fifth of whiskey?
The song "My Name Is" was written in 1999 and refers to a measurement of alcohol as a fifth.I haven't heard much from him since, but I remember at the time wondering what it was.
It was a fifth of a bottle, so not a huge amount, but definitely too much to be driving around.
I thought the reference in other rap songs to being wasted off a fifth was a bit lightweight and not in line with Gangsta rap.vodka is a rank.We drink whiskey.
Up until 1980, the standard bottle size in the US was a fifth of a gallon.It's the same as a 750ml bottle of liquor.
Someone will drink an entire bottle if they say they are going to drink a fifth of whiskey.
Depending on where you are in the world and how you define a shot.In the US, a shot is usually a one or one-and-a-half-ounce measure in which there would be 25 or 16 full shots in a fifth.
There would be 30 or 21 full shots in a fifth for a standard shot in the UK.
I remember it because he says it in the song.
I love drinking whisk(e)y but I'm not an expert and my reviews are just honest opinions from an amateur.I used to be a Scotch drinker but now also love American whiskey.A fan of the arts, sport, music and cats.
The change came back when Carter was trying to convert the US to the metric system.We have 750 liter instead of full liter because he only accomplished how liquor was bottled.Matching was done as close as possible to the fifths we were used to buying.
