A 5th: A 5th of alcohol has 750 ml of alcohol. A fifth refers to 1/5th of gallon of alcohol. For example if you drank 750ml of alcohol (whiskey) over two hours your blood alcohol would be 150mg per dl. Typically alcohol is metabolized at 20mg per dl. So it would take about 8 hours to get out of system. The following is a good calculator: https://globalrph.com/medcalcs/blood-alcohol-calculator-bac-metri
