How Many Shots Are In A Flask

If this had a simple answer, this would be quite a short article!

Flasks come in many shapes and sizes, so the number of shots that can fit into a flask vary quite significantly.

In this guide, we’re going to explore all of the different sizes of flasks out there and just how many shots can fit into them.

How Different Sized Flasks Affect the Number of Shots That Can Fit

In general, a flask can be sized anywhere from one ounce (30ml) to sixty-four ounces (1893ml).

There is actually no “standard” size for a shot of liquor. In the state of Utah, a shot if defined as one ounce (30ml) of alcohol. In other areas of the United States and in various countries around the world, a standard shot is around 1.25 ounces (37ml) to 1.5 ounces (44ml) of alcohol. Similarly, a “double shot” would be somewhere around two ounces (59 ounces) or even more.

For the sake of brevity, we’ll look at how many one-ounce (30ml) and 1.5-ounce (44ml) shots can fit into a wide range of flask sizes.
