As of February first, Scottish Spirits Imports (A Fort Lauderdale company, of course) plans to bring this appetizing alcoholic treat to a janky liquor store near you. From their website:
Is there any better sound than the crack of a beer can being opened after a long day of work? What if the can was filled with something a little stronger than beer, say Scotch whisky?
Our “Scotch in a Can” has eight shots (12 ounces) of Scotch straight out of the can − which is indeed a recyclable one. Keeping qualitative and quantitative standards intact, Scotch in a Can maintains high quality without compromising the tone of the beverage.
Retailing for $5, this thrifty, convenient and pool-safe beverage option is sure to be a hit. Enjoy!

bITCheS ! batman has been drinking this for ages ! do you hipsters not import your drinks like me ? BUT NOW IN A CAN !
When i was in Iran all the whiskey and vodka (which is illegal) came in cans just like this.
Sometimes I wonder if alcohol companies intentionally make products for alcoholic hobos.
With this product, I believe the question has finally been answered.
Concur.
Whaaat? Are you suggesting packaging that implies drinking 8 shots of Scotch in one sitting is problematic? I can’t imagine how.
I predict MANY larger pools of puke in THE MISSION, because THAT is where we ARE, and THAT is where we are drinking!!!
All over europe and in particular the UK you can buy strong mixed booze in cans and bottles. We get 4loko and bottled margaritas/girl drinks, that’s it. Don’t know if that’s due to container laws or just consumer prefs.
Same in Mexico. A bottle of Skyy Blue in the US contains malt liquor, but in Mexico it actually has vodka in it.
There’s a kind of genius here. Get a 12-pack and you have the shot & a beer conundrum sorted out. Maybe don’t drink all twelve, but you get the idea, four friends & a Wednesday night.
Yeah, I can’t really read the fine print. So fuck it. I doubt any drink of 12 oz would have the equivalent of 12 shots in it. Really, do the math, failing that do the meth.
It says 12ozs 8 shots.
At long last.
If I remember correctly, I think a shot is one and one half ounces.
There’s no “official” measure, but the CDC defines one “drink” of liquor (for purposes of determining healthy alcohol intake levels) as a 1.5 oz. shot. I’m sure some bartenders would claim its 1 oz., though.
In Utah a shot is 1.5 oz. legally, everywhere else is up to the bartender but a proper shot is at least 1.5 oz. A jigger used to measure booze for drinks is 1.5 oz. on one side and a lager amount on the other that ranges in size.
Is “a lager amount” anything like an “stout amount”?
HO HO
But, yeah, a shot is 1.5 oz. — all the same, there’s something ironic in your use of the laws in a STATE FULL OF FUCKING MORMONS to prove it.
Just feel glad you don’t live in .uk, most places a shot is 25ml, and if you’re lucky you can find a pub that still serves 35ml shots. (for reference: 1.5oz = 44ml)
