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.

So you need to know how many ounces are in the different size liquor bottles. That's why we keep this handy dandy chart of sizes at the store. I've put the old traditional bottle names like pint, fifth, and half gallon in quotes because they are no longer accurate measurements. We may still call them that, but bottle sizes have changed! Liquor bottles in ounces. standard shot = 1.5 oz. 50 ml mini bottle = 1.7 oz. 200 ml half pint bottle = 6.8 oz.
