He’s drinking half a pint per night, not a whole pint.

A half pint, 200 milliliters, will yield four shots.

A pint, 375 milliliters, has eight shots.

A liter has 22 shots.

A magnum, 1.5 liters, has 33 shots.

A half gallon has 39 shots.

A double magnum, or a Jeroboam, has 67 shots.

A Rehoboam, 4.5 liters, has 101 shots.

So if he drinks exactly half a pint per night, he’s drinking 4 shots per night. I added the 5th shot for a bit of overage.

To clear things up:

Likewise, a half-pint of alcohol bottle size isn’t exactly half of an actual pint. But it is double a quarter pint of alcohol bottle size. A half-pint in mL is 200 mL or 6.8 ounces. A half-pint of alcohol bottle size contains about four 1.5-ounce shots. The most common half pint of alcohol is the half-pint of Hennessy.

What he's drinking is about 4.5 shots per night. Not a crazy amount but if you drink every night you probably have a problem....I speak from experience. Been sober almost 9 years now.
