In hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland is underactive and fails to make enough thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism is common in children and adolescents, and is very treatable. In newborns, a lack of thyroid hormone is serious and needs prompt treatment. Thyroid hormone affects almost every cell in the body. When there isnât enough thyroid hormone, the bodyâs processes start slowing down.
How many ounces are in a shot? A standard shot is 1.5 ounces of liquid. However, in many alcoholic mixed drinks, 1.25 ounces of hard liquor is considered a shot. A shot of espresso is often considered to be 1 ounce.
Real shot glasses can either be 1 oz. (pony) or 1 1/2 oz. (jigger). Most shot glasses you would buy today are 1 oz. I am fond to the old glass shots with the single colored painted line around the top. You pour to the line while looking down into the glass, not looking at it from the side.
