From what I understand, a long island iced tea is 9 parts out of 10 alchohol!.!.!. the last part is usually cola!.
That's without the ice!.!.!. ice waters that down probably about 20% if you let it sit for a while!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on where you are drinking, Usually if you are drinking in a bar it is much less not just because we bartenders are chintzy bastards but also b/c state laws often prevent us from having more than an acceptable amount of liquor!.
Where I live it is only 4 ounces of hard liquor the rest is just mix and I have never seen a LIIT in a short glass!. However, I have found in my years of tending that the Long Island typically knocks people off their stools because of the mixture of liquors not the amount!. I would wager that if you drank 4 ounces of just vodka it wouldn't hit quite as fast as the combo in this drink!.

Therefore, the entire drink has 1!.725 oz of pure alcohol in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The drink is 90% booze!. So depending on how large those glasses were - you drank at least 5 shots!.
