Without changing the size of the shot glass, however, the amount of alcohol in a shot can go as high as 95%, or 2.85 standard drinks. This means, for instance, that if you have one shot of 190-proof Everclear, you have consumed 2.85 times as much alcohol as you would if you had one shot of 72-proof whisky.
Pigments that contribute to skin color are called carotene, a yellowish hemoglobin, in blood vessels (pink-red), and melanin (black, brown, red). Darker skins are dominated by melanin, which is produced from the amino acid tyrosine, by pigment cells (melanocytes) in the skin.igments that contribute to skin color are called carotene, a yellowish hemoglobin, in blood vessels (pink-red), and melanin (black, brown, red).

Also called pigment, melanin is a substance that gives the skin and hair its natural color. It also gives color to the iris of the eye, feathers, and scales. In humans, those with darker skin have higher amounts of melanin. By contrast, those with less pigment have lighter or more fair skin coloring.
