If you want to find out what 10 easiest fifths to drink in one night are, you should know what a “fifth” is and how many drinks it contains. According to the old terminology adopted in the US in the 19th century, a fifth is 1/5 of a gallon, which is around 750ml. If we know that a standard shot glass in bars has 1.5-2 ounces, we can say that it is approximately 12-13 2oz shots. If you choose to drink 1.5 ounces of a drink in smaller glasses, it will be 17 glasses. A standard beer is 12oz, however the alcohol content of beer is far less than liquor.
The more important question is: why would anyone try to drink so much alcohol in one night? What proves that this is a good question is the presence of so many answers on the internet about drinking alcohol as a type of sport, fun or even a competition among people. As we could see in our article concerning 7 Easiest and Fun Drinking Games for Groups, many people think that drinking too much alcohol is fun or funny in groups. Do not be silly enough to try it, but first read about how dangerous this sport is to your physical and mental health.

A research study from the UK from the UK stated that a person should not drink more than 10 1.25 oz drinks per week, spread over three days. So, what will happen if we drink more than that? A former alcoholic, Jason Quiggle, now sober, used to drink a fifth every day for many years. He is still alive, and we can say, healthy, but he admits that many things in his body do not function well after all those years. Alcohol kills cells in the stomach, leaving an open door for infections, hemorrhoids, and cancer. His brain cells are surely damaged and killed forever, and we know that they will not regenerate again. There are also links for people who used to drink and dementia, both in the old age, or even much earlier while they are still young. Those problems can start while the person still drinks, and can rapidly become more serious before he or she even decides to stop the bad habit.
According to research in the US, about 6.7% of the adults admit that they are heavy drinkers, while 3.4% of the young (12-20) had a problem with heavy drinking in the past year. Alcohol was stated as a cause of death of 88,000 people in the US during 2014, but there is no research which will say how many people have been victims of the alcohol abuse indirectly – families of alcoholics or alcohol-related crime victims. As the recovering man Jason Quiggle, above-mentioned said – “It is a long, painful death for all the involved.” However, not so many people drink a bottle of alcohol every day, or even weekly. Most people said that they drink 3-7 drinks at weekends, mainly to make a better time with friends, to relax after a long and heavy week, or simply because they want to forget about their problems. In this last case, people should be very careful, because alcohol cannot solve a problem and sometimes the person continues drinking just to forget that there is no easy solution for the problem they have.
The conclusion is that not everyone can try this dangerous game which includes drinking a bottle of alcohol during one night. Even if a person is accustomed to drinking too many drinks on a daily basis, they should be careful with the type of drinks they consume. It is good to try with drinks which have a lower percentage of alcohol, so they will not cause so many problems in the body after the night of drinking. To be precise and find the best drinks for the list of 10 easiest fifths to drink in one night, we found a list of alcoholic drinks all over the world and then found the percentage of alcohol in them. Logically, a drink with the lower percentage of alcohol is easier to drink. So, this is the list we have made.
