In the UK, a shot is actually only 3/4 oz (25ml.)
In Australia it's 30ml/1oz.
In Germany/Finland it's only 20ml.
So whenever you get a Rum and Coke in the UK, it's less than half (apparently) the alcohol as a rum and coke that you get in the US.

Hmm, good to know, and now it makes sense. One night in the UK these girls (creepy super-fans) bought me 8 shots of whiskey which I drank over the course of an hour or less and I ended up drunk, but not super drunk. I'd assumed they were normal shots which would be the equivalent of 4.5 US shots, so that sobriety level seems about right.
