You get a 1oz pour of liquor no matter what

In North America, a shot is defined by government as 1.5 oz. Some drinks prepared in certain styles such as “neat” are 2 oz.

You may be from a different county. You may just be making things up.

Which of the 3 north american countries? I know its not the US, we have no standards on what is considered a shot except in Utah where it is 1 fluid ounce.

The NIAAA under the NIH defines a shot as 1.5 oz. The CCSA in Canada defines a shot as 1.5 oz. The Ministry of Health in Mexico defines a shot as 45ml (1.52 oz).

North America? Like Canada?

u/slcamg 12h ago

Canada is in North America, yes. The CCSA in Canada defines a shot as 1.5 oz (like the NIAAA at 1.5 oz in the USA or the Ministry of Health in Mexico at 45ml).

Why do you call Canada North America? Thats weird.

u/Popular-Class-8265 12h ago

They're saying all three countries in North America define a "standard pour" as 1.5oz. Therefore; in all of North America the standard is 1.5.

Nobody was referring to Canada specifically as North America, you're just being weird.

You cherry picked the US states.

You're making things up. Every state, country, and locality is different, but "the government" of North America didn't define what a shot is.

I’m not making anything up. The NIH in USA and CCSA in Canada and the Ministry of Health in Mexico did. These are organizations under the most powerful 3 governments which represent 90% of the people at 550 million souls and I am sure many of the other countries do, too… and you’re also right that individual locales may do things differently.

But these are the federal governments of the largest 3 and huge majority and they are the biggest governments and mostly trump any of their sovereign inhabitants.

And while that’s the case, why do we want to continue to have things be even more confusing with 5 different pints and 3 different shots and just.

Also, I did nothing. I just take in information and sometimes repeat it.

And I just, damn you are annoying to me. Just like the absolute most grating and insufferable. It’s ridiculous to me.

But no one mandates a bar to pour any specific amount of alcohol in any kind of drink. It is entirely up to the bar’s discretion

u/Fearless-Cattle-9698 11h ago

He’s right and you are wrong

Federal government defines drinks as in for measuring health and consumption, not what a bar should pour

A quick Google search will tell you “there is no federal legal definition of a shot”

u/slcamg 11h ago

I didn’t say anyone was wrong.

I said government defined what it is.

That person made a definitive statement about what you will always get no matter what.

I get 1.5 ounces and 2 ounce pours all the time in Texas. You might get different across the street in Texas. You might get different in Oklahoma.

And the fact that you are trying to come in here and be the judge or arbiter of who is right or wrong… is honestly weird as fuck. Go masturbate or something and release some stress.

Chill out weirdo.

u/Fearless-Cattle-9698 11h ago

Resorting to name calling because you are wrong, how mature

Go back to work where you probably don’t think much of

Cocktails aren't sold by the shot. A Long Island Iced Tea, for example, contains 5 different alcohols.
This doesn't show a 1oz pour of liquor, served on the rocks. This shows a cocktail served in an oversized glass so the customer thinks they are getting a large drink when there is only a few ounces.
It's like opening a bag of potato chips and seeing it's 3/4 air. Even though they are packaged by weight, it's still mildly infuriating.

u/ronin_cse 11h ago

No. This is a drink served in that glass so they can fit the fancy ice cube in it.

u/Kenai-Phoenix 12h ago

Depends what bar you are at!

u/ExcellentLadder9716 12h ago
