I don't free-pour. I use the cap for my measurement. A "shot" by the way is 1.5 imperial ounces. Not two, not free-pour. A "good" shot is exactly 1.5 ounces. Anything more than that is "more than a shot."

Jazuela,
I love your first paragraph above. You are clever and funny and smart. You know how to cut to the chase.
Maybe you should think about taking a look at a mid-size newspaper — like maybe the Orlando Sentinel. I think you could be an outstanding columnist. Lauren Richie writes for Orlando and though I have not looked at her columns in a long time, she can have a bit of an edge which can be a good thing for a newspaper columnist. Her columns could cause a bit of consternation in the land that is TV.
Anyway, for what it is worth, I think you know your way around words and nuance and tone and voice and human nature.
You have a gift. Go forth.
