Traditionally, a shot glass was a small, thick glass designed to measure one ounce of liquid, usually liquor, to be either drunk straight, or poured into a mixed drink. Markings, if any, indicated the quantity of fluid at different levels.
Today, the size can vary, but still, the intention is generally to pour a specific amount of liquor. Markings now are more likely logos of organizations, e.g., restaurants, bars, or sports teams.
The most common shot glasses in the United States are of three sizes:
"single shot"- 1.5 fluid ounces (~44 ml)
"double shot"- 3.0 fl. oz. (~89 ml)
"pony shot"- 1.0 fl. oz. (~30 ml)
