It's a waste of money to buy fifths. Half gallon (or 1.75 liter) is a better deal. If you can get by on two of those a week, then you're fine----err...your friend is, I mean.

That's like, what, two or three stiff drinks per night? That's barely over the recommended limit set by physicians, and you know those have to be set pretty conservatively, like speed limits and trailer-hitch tongue weights.


Thank you. I'm stealing this for the next time my wife looks at me funny.

I'd say that is a lot. Are you a drunk? If you have to ask the question, you might want to get some professional advice.

Lol. 2-3 stiff drinks per night, every night, means you're an alcoholic.

That is why he came here to ask some real drinkers.

I used to have a huge problem drinking. A fifth a night was not enough and I would go through a 1.75 in 2 nights. I don't drink near that much any more.

2 fifths in a span of 7 days? I fricking hope not

7.5 oz a day doesn't seem like that much.

Both of these factors have a high correlation with alcoholism.

The OP fails to ask a complete question. We would need to know how much beer and wine his friend drinks along with the liquor. As long as that is kept to a bottle of wine per night (or 4-6 beers) he ought to be alright.

Just kidding. That along with all the liquor is excessive. It could lead to health problems. He should skip a night now and then to avoid the adverse effects. But wait until after the holiday weekend for the detox.

No. What he should do is quit drinking daily. Stay sober 5 nights a week. Then finish the 2 fifths in 2 days.

This. Also if you purchase a case most places will give you an added discount. Not like it's going to expire on you.

I used to drink a handle every three days for about two years solid, so buying by the case was the best option.

Whooahooa. Slow down there with slinging these labels around all willy nilly. You're gonna kill somebody's buzz.
