To the casual observer it might be a rugged little thing for drinking shots of whiskey, or an advertising glass for distillers or distributers, or a souvenir glass from a tourist shop. The true collector thinks of them in regard to their minimum and maximum height; minimum and maximum capacity; and style of glass.
According to the Shot Glass Club of America shot glasses are whiskey tumblers which are small vessels designed for drinking distilled spirits in small amounts. Tumblers (i.e. shotglasses) DO NOT have a foot, stem or handle. The base of a tumbler is pointed or convex. Shot glasses are limited to a maximum of two ounces in volume and strictly less than three inches in height. Minimum capacity is one ounce and the shortest height is 1-3/4 inches. Shot glasses normally tapper out at the top.
Items which are mistaken as shot glasses include dram glasses, candle holders, toy mugs, juice glasses, cordials, brandy glasses and toothpick holders.
What is a Shot ?
In 1690,the administration of William of Orange passed: "An Act for the Encouragement of the Distillation of Brandy and Spirits". New drinking styles and the lifting of taxes on distilled spirits encouraged their growth and influenced the development of glassware. The introduction of gin named for Ginievre or Geneva overtook England. In 1713 Parliament removed all restriction on the distillation and sale of spirits. These actions brought on the socalled "gin plague". While the English aristocrats drank fine brandies and expensive wines the common citizens gorged on gin and beer. Gin was blamed for crime, idleness, begging, and unemployment in the middle-classes and poor. To combat the "gin plague" in England Parliament imposed a 20 shilling per gallion tax on gin in the 1760's. Distilled spirits became more powerful per volume and lead to drinking in smaller vessels. Dram glasses made of metal or tiny glass bowls on long stems and bases, which were available at the time, only held an ounce or two. Dram glasses cheaply made were frail and broke easily, but were quit popular and used in the practice of dramming. Dramming entailed several small toasts of rum, brandy, whiskey, or gin drunk in succession in lodges, taverns and dram shops. Dramming carried over to America but ended in England by about 1840. As sturdier glass was used to make dramming glasses they made a load noise, as they were slammed to the table, much like the firing of a musket. The sturdier "fired" glass was heavier and could take more abuse with bases as thick as an inch of glass.
The Influence in glass development
Many glass creations in the New and Old World were geared to the consumption of beverages. Champagne glasses, wine glasses, cordials and others have distinct differences and are used for specific liquids.
Jefferson's cocktail party
When Jefferson became president one of his first goals was to stock the White House wine cellar. He entertained
frequently and invented the Presidential Cocktail Party. In his first year as president he spent $6500 on food and
$2400 on wines.

| NAME = Eddie EMAIL = jwilbers@du.edu I would just like to say a little something about something. First of all, and I think Willian Blake put it best! "The road of excess leads to the place of wisdom.". Second I would like to say a little something about Dionysos and the millenum. Two unrelated subjects mostly. Dionysos was the greek god of extacy and eternal life. He was also the god to wine. Experience Dionisia if you can. It is very cool. Compleet lack of inhabition. A way I like to live my life. I would also like to live my life in a constant state of drunkeness, but we can't always have what we want. So anyway get drunk have as much sex with as many people as possible at once or some shit like that and it can be a really religous experience. About the Millenum with it comes the apocolipse. Two thirds of the worlds population will die. There will be floods famine and pestelince. After this cataclismic event cackroackes will begin to evolve into humanoid form. They will only be destinguishable by their antennas. So they will all wear hats. They will try to infultrate us. We will have to tell everyone to take off their hats. so if you know anyone who refuses to take off their hat, Be Afraid! That's just a small sample of the info that's to come. Everyone remember the Dionysia. Get drunk and have fun. But most importantly "Fuck the Bullshit!" as a good friend of mine once said. And he pulled down his pants as he flew out of sight, Merry drunkeness to all and to all a good night. -Jimmi |
Fuzzy Duck
One of those fun tongue twister type games. This game, as with most drinking games is more fun if
you have a lot of people to play it. Apparently this game is quite popular since a lot of people have
been submitting it to me.
Rules:
The group of people sit in a circle, preferably around a table. One person starts the
game by saying "Fuzzy Duck". The person to the left follows by either saying "Fuzzy
Duck" again or saying "Does he?" If someone says "Does he?" the direction of the
game changes and the person to the right must say "Ducky Fuzz". If someone says
"Does he?" then the direction changes again and you go back to saying "Fuzzy Duck".
This continues until someone screws up. That person must drink. The point of the
game is to say it very fast. Any pause will also cause a person to have to drink.
Every Body Loves Thumper!!!
Thumper
This is a game with a good beat. If you don't have rhythm then please don't try to play this game.
Rules:
Everyone sits around a table. Everyone then makes a gesture to represent themselves.
After everyone has decided on a gesture go through them all one more time.
Everyone then begins drumming on the table, one person says "What is the name of
the game?" everyone replies "Thumper!" Same person says "Why do we play it?" and
everyone replies "To get f*%$ed up!". Then the person does their gesture and then
someone else's. The persons gesture they did must do their gesture and then another
persons. Everyone else must still be drumming. The first person to mess up drinks.
Asshole
This game is pretty popular with the younger generation. They like to use that dirty language. Don't
we all....anyway here's how you play.
Rules:
The first hand is used to determine everyone's rank during the following hands. Deal
out all the cards. The person to the left of the dealer starts off. The object of the game
is to get rid of all your cards. When starting you can lay down any card or cards with
the same face value. The person following you must lay down a card of equal or
greater value. They must also use the same amount of cards as you did. If you lay
down two 9's then they would have to lay down two of something equal or greater. If
the player lays down the same card as the previous player then the next player is
skipped and must drink. Also if you can't play any of your cards than you must skip
and drink. Cards are cleared if everyone skips or a two is played.
Play continues like this until all the cards have been played. After the first hand is
when the fun really begins. There is a ranking system which is as follows: President,
Vice-President, Secretary, Asshole. Whoever goes out first becomes the new
President for the next game, the second person becomes the Vice-President, etc...
For the following rounds, anyone who ranks higher then you can tell you to drink
whenever they want to.
Special Rules:
The Asshole must always deal and clear the cards. Also the Asshole must give the
two best cards in their hand to the President. The President gives the two worst cards
in their hand to the Asshole. If the President remains President for three consecutive
rounds they can create special rules, such as the word "drink" cannot be used. If
these rules are broken then the offender must drink.
