Just feel glad you don’t live in .uk, most places a shot is 25ml, and if you’re lucky you can find a pub that still serves 35ml shots. (for reference: 1.5oz = 44ml)

I predict MANY larger pools of puke in THE MISSION, because THAT is where we ARE, and THAT is where we are drinking!!!

Is “a lager amount” anything like an “stout amount”?

HO HO

But, yeah, a shot is 1.5 oz. — all the same, there’s something ironic in your use of the laws in a STATE FULL OF FUCKING MORMONS to prove it.

In Utah a shot is 1.5 oz. legally, everywhere else is up to the bartender but a proper shot is at least 1.5 oz. A jigger used to measure booze for drinks is 1.5 oz. on one side and a lager amount on the other that ranges in size.

There’s no “official” measure, but the CDC defines one “drink” of liquor (for purposes of determining healthy alcohol intake levels) as a 1.5 oz. shot. I’m sure some bartenders would claim its 1 oz., though.

If I remember correctly, I think a shot is one and one half ounces.

Whaaat? Are you suggesting packaging that implies drinking 8 shots of Scotch in one sitting is problematic? I can’t imagine how.

It says 12ozs 8 shots.

Yeah, I can’t really read the fine print. So fuck it. I doubt any drink of 12 oz would have the equivalent of 12 shots in it. Really, do the math, failing that do the meth.

There’s a kind of genius here. Get a 12-pack and you have the shot & a beer conundrum sorted out. Maybe don’t drink all twelve, but you get the idea, four friends & a Wednesday night.

Same in Mexico. A bottle of Skyy Blue in the US contains malt liquor, but in Mexico it actually has vodka in it.

All over europe and in particular the UK you can buy strong mixed booze in cans and bottles. We get 4loko and bottled margaritas/girl drinks, that’s it. Don’t know if that’s due to container laws or just consumer prefs.

Sometimes I wonder if alcohol companies intentionally make products for alcoholic hobos.

With this product, I believe the question has finally been answered.
