That's OK, I love to argue. I think we're having an argument about who
can be more anal.

I'm assuming you are in the US, as am I. What I realized after I sent
the last post, is that fifths and pints of hard liquor haven't been sold
in the US for many years. They now have a bewildering variety of sizes,
all in milliliters. I suspect that if you look at that "half pint", it
will say 200ml, so yes, you would get almost four of them out of a
"fifth", which is actually 750ml.

But I'm just guessing.
