How much would you say it is?

To settle a family debate with a precosoius teenager!

a good couple of table spoons but no more than half a glass

pandarific · 01/05/2020 20:59

I think it's a 'glug' op. There is also a swig - I don't think there is such thing as a slug, apart from the slimy kind?

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 01/05/2020 21:00

maybe a really big mouthful actually...

pandarific · 01/05/2020 21:00

And I'd say a tablespoonful!

Nottherealslimshady · 01/05/2020 21:00

However much comes out when you tip the bottle then lift it back up after the first glug.

TheFluffiestCat · 01/05/2020 21:01

A slosh.

EugeniaGrace · 01/05/2020 21:02

A dollop or two

A slug Shock

Surely you mean a glug ?

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 01/05/2020 21:07

One comfortable swallows worth.

Pinkarsedfly · 01/05/2020 21:09

No, it’s definitely slug. It’s what comes out with one quite loose tip of the bottle.

Think devil-may-care Keith Floyd rather than prim Delia.

crustycrab · 01/05/2020 21:09

It's a quick lob

3luckystars · 01/05/2020 21:10

A slug a mouthful

A glug is a large tablespoon

ElizabethinherGermanGarden · 01/05/2020 21:12

About 20ml. However much you can let out of the bottle if you take your thumb off the neck for about a second.

Puds11 · 01/05/2020 21:13

A slug, approx 25ml or less.

Sicario · 01/05/2020 21:15

I think I slug of wine is bigger than a slug of brandy.
But it's definitely a SLUG.

dementedma · 01/05/2020 21:16

Slightly more than a splash

Wanderlust21 · 01/05/2020 21:16

A big shot glass full.

PlanDeRaccordement · 01/05/2020 21:17

A slug is more than a dash but less than a glug.

CloudsCanLookLikeSheep · 01/05/2020 21:18

Jamie Oliver calls it a lug

MoonBaby1 · 01/05/2020 21:21

Lol at people saying it’s a glug. A glug is larger in volume than a slug!

Brandaris · 01/05/2020 21:24

No, a slug is two glugs.

A gulg is the amount that comes out when the bottle is poured for one ‘blub’ sound. A slug is two blub blubs.

The actual volume is dependent on the bottle, the viscosity of the liquid and the wrist action.

CountFosco · 01/05/2020 21:25

Of wine I'd say 50-100ml. Of spirits 15ml.

Obviouspretzel · 01/05/2020 21:27

Twenty to fifty ml, rough slosh into the pan.

JaneJeffer · 01/05/2020 21:31

A big mouthful.

Voice0fReason · 01/05/2020 21:31

A slug of wine is definitely bigger than a slug of oil
