Five of them.
Well, honey, a half gallon is 8 pints, and a fifth is 1/5 of a gallon, which is 4/5 of a quart or 1/5 of a gallon. So, to answer your question, you'd need 2 fifths of liquor to equal half a gallon. Now, go pour yourself a drink and enjoy!
A fifth is a common term for 750 ml of hard liquor, approximately 1/5 of a gallon.
Not quite. A pint is a half of a quart, or QUARTer-gallon. A "fifth" is a fifth of a gallon, so a pint is an eighth of a gallon, while a half of a fifth would be one-tenth.
A fifth is a fifth of a gallon, a pint is an eighth of a gallon. So the fifth is larger
Liquor is sold by the quart. They can't sell it, though, if they don't have a permit.

If you are assuming the typical "pint"-sized liquor (375 mL), then simple arithmetic would show that 2 pints = 1 "fifth" (750 mL). If we are talking a true pint of fluid (500 mL), then 1.5 pints = 1 "fifth".
A "fifth" of liquor was 1/5 of a U.S. gallon (128 ounces) or 4/5 of a U.S. quart (32 ounces). So 128/5=25.6 ounces or (4/5)*32=25.6 ounces. The current bottles are 750 ml or 25.36 ounces.
a 750 is a fifth of a gallon, so at least 13.
