Since a "fifth" of liquor has less liquid than a quart, than a "fifth" must be 1/5 of a gallon, right?
Originally there were two types of "gallon" in use for liquid:
The "Wine Gallon" or Queen Anne's gallon of 128 oz or
The "Water Gallon of 160 fluid ounces, or 10 lbs of water. AKA "Imperial Gallon"
The US Gallon of 128 ounces was ratified later based on the Wine Gallon.
one fifth of that is a US bottle of liquor
The fifth, which used to be 757ml, has now been reduced to 750ml for convenience with the rest of the world which uses the metric system.

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 fifth is a common term for 750 ml of hard liquor, approximately 1/5 of a gallon.

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".
There are 1.5856236786469344608879492600423 pints in a gallon.And now, one from the lighter side: Not enough!The original "fifth" size liquor bottle was 4/5 of a pint, 1/5 of a gallon, or 25.6 ounces. The modern liquor bottle that we still call a fifth is actually 750 mls, which is 25.4 ounces, just a tiny bit less than the original fifth.
