    Any truth to the rumor you get a fifth if your top 100 qualifiers? Boy that would bring them out of the woodwork. GL all  drive safe

    Actually, a fifth is 1 fifth of a gallon.

    4 quarts = 1 gallon.

    5 fifths = 1 gallon.

    I only drink beer though   lol

    Is that an Imperial gallon or a US gallon?

    It was 1/5 of a US gallon (4/5 of a quart) back in Mad Men days, but it was replaced about 30 years ago (?) by the 750 ml bottle. Still popularly referred to in the US as a fifth.

    Yep. Even the one's that are only 700ml are still referred to as "fifth's". Creatures of habit we are.

    Have they shrunk to 700 ml? They have in Europe. Makes me think someone at the distillery has nipped off with the extra 50 ml. I mean, that's a whole drink. Hell, in most European countries that's a double.
