I had someone searching on my blog the other day for the number of syns in a bottle of gin.
I don’t know whether to be appalled or impressed at the idea of drinking a whole bottle of spirits! I just hope they’re not attempting it in one sitting!
A standard bottle of spirits in Ireland is 700ml, and a standard pub measure is ¼ Gill or 35.5ml in metric.
The syn values listed on the Slimming World website for gin vary depending on it’s alcoholic strength:
- 37.5% gin is 3.5 syns per 35ml
- 43% gin is 4 syns per 35ml
A standard bottle of a typical gin like Bombay Sapphire is 40% alcohol volume, but for the calculation I’ll use the higher value of 4 syns per 35ml measure.
There are 20 measures of 35ml in a 700ml bottle, and so the total for the whole bottle is 80 syns.
Happy (and responsible) drinking!
How patronising that you would criticise someone looking at your blog for syn value of gin….it’s not your concern as to WHY the search
Um, I think you might have misread what was written. The fact was they asked for the syn value for a WHOLE bottle, so Richard clearly made a joke that this was quite a drinking session.
Thank you for your comment. Asked about a bottle of gin as I had a quarter of bottle and wondered how many syns.
Hope you enjoyed it!
