A shot is a small quantity of hard alcohol (typically 1.5oz or 44ml) consumed very quickly by opening one's throat. Shots are sometimes followed by a sweet or tasteful 'chaser' that takes some of the alcohol's burn off of the drinker's throat. Mixed drinks also work the same way. Shots can be used as bombs in another drink, such as the Irish Carbomb (Bailey's Irish Cream and a small amount of Jameson's whiskey in Guiness), or Jaegerbomb (Jaegermeister in beer).
Shots can also be of one-and-a-half or double size (1.75 and 3 oz, of course).
Shots are an excellent form of pre-gaming.
Liquor before beer, you're in the clear. Beer before liquor, never sicker.
Drinking games
Main article: Drinking games
Drinking games are also an option with shots, often revolving around the watching of a specific movie (ex., Pirates of the Caribbean). They can get you fucked up.
