How much beer can a kilt hold?

Wow! I am definitely sold! As soon as the funds come in, I am so getting one

Whoa!

20 twelve ounce bottles is 240 ounces of "product" which is just a few ounces less than a GALLON. Talk about prepared!

If you also carry one in each hand you'll be over the gallon...

Which is gonna add about eight pounds to the weight of the kilt. A man needs a solid belt for that load...and an expandable waistline as he injests it.

And cab fare, and no car keys.

Sorry to correct your math Ron but there are only 128 fluid ounces in a english gallon.
8 ounces to a cup.
2 cups to a pint.
2 pints to a quart.
4 quarts to a gallon.
If I am wrong you and the other members of this forum have my deepest appoligies(sp?)

As my 7 kilts are all tanks, I'm out of the running with this one. Oh, I dont drink beer either. I might have to set up a test to discover how much Cock O' The North & Glen Morangie I can hold before I need to let the straps out...

You are wrong. U.S. measures are what you have listed. English or imperial measure is:

1 pint- 20 ozs.
1 quart- 40 ozs.
1 gallon- 160 ozs.

In Canada you always ask at the pub whether they serve "true" pints or "baby" pints.

my kilt can hold as much beer as i can drink!

and at times that can be a whole lot!

Blimy! if I drank that much in one night I'd end up with my head in a bucket

Use a lamp shade they breath better

Aye gentlemen,

'twas late and my math was WAY wrong...so there's a LOT more than a gallon.

Must have been the fumes from the brews going to my head.

And, good point about no car keys....yikes...don't know if a human being could hold as much as the kilt can!!
