A pericardial effusion is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space around the heart. It is commonly known as fluid around the heart. If there is an excessive collection of fluid, it may compress the heart and this is known as a cardiac tamponade. It is potentially life threatening in these cases.
A shot really refers to a portion of liquor being served in a shot glass, and the same is true for a jigger.. A pint is 16 fluid ounces and a fifth (as the name implies, 1/5 of a gallon) is 25.6 ounces. So for the three most commonly quoted sizes for a shot (1, 1.25, and 1.5 ounces), a pint is 16, 12.8, or 10.7 shots and a fifth is 25.6, 20.5, or 17 shots.

One pint of 6% ABV beer contains 568 x 0.06 = 34 ml of pure ethanol. One 25 ml shot of 40% ABV vodka contains 25 x 0.4 = 10 ml of pure ethanol. A big difference, as you can see-the shot of vodka has less than a third of the alcohol in the pint! (Mind you, 6% is quite strong beer; obviously if you took a standard 4% or so beer the difference would be less.).
