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).

Melanin /ËmÉlÉnÉªn/ (Greek: Î¼Î­Î»Î±Ï - melas, black, dark) is a broad term for a group of natural pigments found in most organisms (arachnids are one of the few groups in which it has not been detected). Melanin is produced by the oxidation of the amino acid tyrosine, followed by polymerization.n humans, melanin is the primary determinant of skin colour. It is also found in hair, the pigmented tissue underlying the iris of the eye, and the stria vascularis of the inner ear.
