Thanks for the kind words. Let me tell you how I do it. I bought
a cheap half-pint of whiskey just because I liked the glass bottle. I
took the label off. I did this about a year ago, maybe more. I keep
it in the fridge. When I get a fifth or a pint, I pour what I can
into the half pint bottle and take my sips from there - 4 shots to the
half pint. I beg to differ with you however, and I'm not looking to
argue, but when I get a fifth I can get 4 half pints out of it minus
maybe one shot. Sometimes I'll buy a pint plus a few $1.00 airplane
bottles to take me to about 10 shots, enough to do the job but not
enough to give me a devastating hangover. I get 4 half pints from a
fifth. 4 half pints equals 2 pints. As for the money, the stuff is
so cheap anyway that I'm really not losing much pouring it down the
drain. If I don't do that I'll drink it and maybe regret it the next
day. Anyway, from one fifth I always get 4 half pints minus maybe one
shot, so you're really not losing much getting the fifth. And I know
they're not really pints but are labeled by millimeter or whatever.
But I know that from each half pint I get 4 good shots because the
bottle is clear glass and I actually use my finger to mark each shot
although I can tell by feel alone. Thanks for your post and trying to
be helpful. I also smoke weed. I was always more of a drinker than a
pot head, but now I think if someone put a gun to my head and said I
had to choose one of the two, I think I'd go with the pot.
