These people did the same thing, but the difference between us and them is that they actually went on to name a band. Check out these 21 band names inspired by a little quality time flipping channels from the couch. Alex Meagher, Flickr // CC BY NC-2.0.
Answer by MerlinsMinion. Confidence votes 825. This depends on the brand of vodka being served and the place you are ordering the shot. Shots can range anywhere from $2.00 for cheap vodka at a cheap bar to $20.00+ a shot for more upscale vodka at a nice place.
In some states you aren't allowed to serve a drink with more than an ounce of alcohol in it, so in those states a shot would be one ounce. In my state, no such law exists, but a standard shot is 1 ounce. (Unless you know the bartender.) And I'm surprised you people pick a 5th as a standard bottle. Maybe I'm just a lush, but when I buy alcohol, I don't buy anything smaller than a 750 ml unless it's something special and expensive.
