The bottle of wine is the perfect unit of measure.
 

Three friends can share a bottle of wine, and each may get a little silly.
 

Four friends can share a bottle of wine, and each gets a generous glass.
 

Five friends can share a bottle of wine, and each gets a proper glass.
 

If there are six friends, buy two bottles of wine and see (3). Counting up, we see that it scales for any number.
 

A bottle earns two old friends slap-happiness or lends nervous lovers courage.
 

And for the solitary... well, milliliter 749 Lethes sorrows, while the lack of milliliter 751 prevents indiscretions.
