One 1.5 oz shot of 80-proof vodka is one US standard drink. How many until you feel drunk is not a number — math, not a 3–4 shot recipe.
Distilled vodka does not spoil like beer. Official open-bottle months unused — FLAG. 27 CFR 5.142 ≥40%. Keep sealed, cool, dark.
A 1.5-ounce shot of 40% tequila is one standard drink. Four in about two hours is NIAAA binge drinking for women; five for men. That is math, not a challenge.
80-proof vodka will not freeze solid in a typical 0°F home freezer. Ethanol–water at 40% ABV ices near −16°F. Flavored 60-proof is closer.
Pink Whitney is 30% ABV (60 proof). A 1.5 oz shot is 0.75 US standard drinks, so four shots ≈ three vodka shots. Math, not a challenge.
White and dark rum are the same TTB class (27 CFR 5.151). Color is often caramel or barrel time — not a guaranteed extra proof. Most US bottles are 40% ABV. A 1.5 oz pour is one standard drink.
Brandy is distilled wine (27 CFR 5.145). Whiskey is distilled grain (5.143). Cognac is a French brandy AOC. Most US bottles of both are 40% ABV. A 1.5 oz pour is one standard drink.
Unopened rum does not expire like beer. Opened bottles oxidize. Standard US rum is typically 40% ABV. Cream and flavored liqueurs are a different clock.
Cognac is brandy from the Cognac AOC (BNIC ages). Whiskey is a grain distillate (27 CFR 5.143). Both often bottle at 40% in the US. A 1.5 oz 40% pour is one standard drink.
