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.

Hi Everyone, What is the definitive size for a single shot of espresso in terms of what the industry recognizes? Every website I do to tells me something different. Some say 1 ounce, 1.5 ounces or 2 ounces. Also, when making espresso based drinks, what is the proper amount in ounces to use? For example, a conventional latte is 1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk so how many ounces should I use. Thanks so much for any information.
