I can't be the only one to realize that math has also changed while we have been spending our evenings at home.
unless I"m the only person who never knew that metric is not a constant system.

for example, pre-pandemic, a 750ml of vodka, gin or whiskey contained 4 or 5 drinks, under stress free conditions.
but since April, a 1.75 liter of booze also has but 4 or 5 drinks...well let's say it lasts the same amount of days as the 750 used to last.

how is this possible?

I’m having the same issue with wine. Seems like they’re all half bottles or something.

I had 2 beers and a couple 3 glasses of whiskey on Saturday. I was feeling good... and then the next couple days I was not. As I get older, alcohol just kicks my ass.

Get some of those pourers for the bottles like the bartenders have, or just skip the glass.
