USA measures

• 1 short shot (also known as a jigger) = 45 millilitres = close to double the size of a UK short

UK measures

• 1 shot = 25 millilitres (Legal serving of spirits in the UK since 1985).

I think this explains why some people will feel short changed… and others a bit woozy after having the ‘same’ amount of shots!
