A keg technically is. It is a half-barrel, with a barrel being part of the official weights and measures. It's like saying "half a gallon" or "half a liter".

But they specifically used keg of beer as a weight measure.

Historically a beer barrel was a standard size of 36 US gallons (140 l; 30 imp gal), as opposed to a wine barrel of 32 US gallons (120 l; 27 imp gal), or an oil barrel of 42 US gallons (160 l; 35 imp gal).

These days, what is considered a "full keg" is 15.5 gallons.

The good news is coffee doesn't rate a mention.


"In a 2010 study, experts ranked 20 legal and illegal drugs on 16 measures of harm to the user and to wider society. This includes health damage, economic costs, and crime. Overall, alcohol was the most harmful drug. MDMA (ecstasy), LSD and mushrooms were among the least harmful."

So what weighs more, a lb of meth, or a lb of seedless watermellon?

Remember, the average seedless watermelon weighs 10 rats.
