A fifth is a slang term used to refer to a 750-milliliter bottle of alcoholic spirits, particularly whiskey or vodka. It is commonly called a fifth because it is one-fifth of a gallon, which is equivalent to around 25.4 ounces or 1.5 pints.
A fifth is a term primarily used in the United States to describe a specific size of alcoholic beverage bottles. The name “fifth” comes from the fact that the bottle holds one-fifth of a gallon. It is important to note that not all countries use the term “fifth,” and the size may vary in other parts of the world. The term is most often associated with whiskey or vodka but can be used for other spirits as long as they come in a 750ml bottle.
Example 1: “Hey, can you grab a fifth of whiskey from the liquor store for tonight’s party?”
Example 2: “I picked up a fifth of vodka for the camping trip. It should be enough to share with everyone.”
