American and British terms for drink measures?!
American and British terms for drink measures?
Here in India:
A peg is 60 ml.
A nip is 90 ml.
In America, they seem never to have heard of "pegs". They call it a "shot". How much is a shot? And what do people use in England? Is it only in India that we say "peg" and "nip"? Where else do people use those words?
