A twenty-sixer is a roughly a fifth of the US (128 ounces) gallon. The proper Gallon has 160 ounces. 26 liquid ounces is roughly 750 cc, or 3/4 liter.

No, better hide them from the British Imperial System Police. Though I guess metric police would have you give back 1.25 millilitres (1.25 cc) for each US ounce. |
