Wow, do you also drive around with a radar gun and notify the police of anybody speeding. I wish I could be so law abiding.

But a shot that is considered technically 1 drink at 80 proof is 1.5 fluid ounces sof if the FA want's to serve you one shot exactly take a 10 ml syringe with markings along and instruct the FA that 4.436 syring fulls are the exact amount to pour to ensure the utmost compliance with the law and not to offend their moral authority.

I really miss the pre August 16, 2006 lack of liquid rules. I would always roll with a bottle of Bailey's in my Ogio backpack with the side pocket that could hold a 750ml perfectly and mix that in with a Venti Starbucks coffee at about a 30 to 70 ratio in the bathroom at ORD.
