A pericardial effusion is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space around the heart. It is commonly known as fluid around the heart. If there is an excessive collection of fluid, it may compress the heart and this is known as a cardiac tamponade. It is potentially life threatening in these cases.
A shot really refers to a portion of liquor being served in a shot glass, and the same is true for a jigger.. A pint is 16 fluid ounces and a fifth (as the name implies, 1/5 of a gallon) is 25.6 ounces. So for the three most commonly quoted sizes for a shot (1, 1.25, and 1.5 ounces), a pint is 16, 12.8, or 10.7 shots and a fifth is 25.6, 20.5, or 17 shots.

Some shot glasses contain 1.5 ounces, some contain two ounces, and some contain 50 milliliters. But for todayâs purposes, letâs define a shot as 1.5 ounces; this is the size most customers are given when they order a shot of liquor at a bar. If you do the math, one handle of liquor will yield you almost exactly 40 1.5-ounce shots. Just for the record, itâll also yield you about 30 two-ounce shots, and about 35 50-milliliter shots.
