A Nagan is an informal unit of measurement of alcoholic spirits; generally for whiskey and vodka, but can be ported over to almost any other alcoholic drink. It is used almost exclusively in Ireland, but can be found in other nations with a celtic heritage, such as Scotland, and Wales.

1 Nagan = ~200mls

[edit] Origin

The word was originally Irish but found its way into common use in English over time. Much like craic and banshee.
