Most places will limit you to like two of those kinds of drinks. First time I learned this I thought I was being cut off. I was like “did I do something wrong?” They said no, you can order anything else. Just not more of those.

Which is odd, because they’ll let you order a beer and a shot as many times as you want, and that will fuck me up way more, for some reason.

You can taste it a lot more in a beer or shot. Its much less likely to sneak up on you, with how much alcohol is in a long Island, and the fact you can hardly taste it.

A proper long Island is about 5 ounces of liquid with 4 of them being liquor. That's way more potent than a bee and a shot.

The "classic" is 5x15ml of liquor, you're supposed to do half measures for the classic mix. That's ~24ml of pure alcohol, about the same as a strong Double or a medium Triple beer.

IF you're doing half measures, which most places won't, because that gets the bartender shouted at.
