Assuming the hat was a hemisphere (I know it's not), the hole in the hat would have to have a diameter of approximately 56 centimeters or about 1 foot 10 inches (I think)

From www.villagehatshop.com

A ten gallon hat is often thought to be large enough to hold ten gallons of water. This is not true (unless you have an exceptionally large head). The gallon in "ten gallon hat" derives from the Spanish galón meaning braid. So a ten-gallon hat is a hat with a braiding around the brim.

A ten-gallon hat holds 3/4 gallon or 3 quarts.

tek it a gallon of STELLA weighs just a tad more with those special ingredients

 

[2scoops0406]

Probably slightly less as it is 5.2 % alcohol.

And on another totally irrelevant note, did you know if you mix half a litre of pure alcohol with half a liter if water, the resulting mixture is not one litre in volume
