Knowing how many shots are in a handle saves you from three disasters. First: Over-purchasing. You don’t need two handles for a party of six unless you plan to bathe in the stuff. Second: The “Oops, I drank a third of a handle” realization. That’s about 13 shots, friend. That’s a lot. Pace yourself.
Third: You can actually plan a budget. If a handle costs $30, each shot is roughly 77 cents. That’s cheaper than a Starbucks coffee. Suddenly, your life choices make financial sense—even if your liver disagrees.
A Quick Word on “Mixer Math”
If you’re making shots for a game (like beer pong or flip cup), you’re probably using small cups. Those cups hold about 2 ounces of liquid. So from a handle, you get roughly 29.5 of those cups. That’s a long game. Bring snacks. Bring water. Bring a designated driver, please.
