Hey don't believe me, you could just google it.

Here's the wikipedia entry, with a table and everything!

Shot glass - Wikipedia

In some countries, a "single shot" is bigger than 1.5 ounces. In Canada and the USA, however, a single shot is 1.5 ounces. I wasn't required to learn anything about shots in other countries so this was interesting news:

Of the 25 countries listed in that table, only 8 of them considered a single shot more than 1.5 ounces. The rest were 1.5 or smaller. There's also such a thing as a "small shot" which is even smaller than that but I've never heard of anyone pouring a small shot outside of a mixed drink recipe.
