Doing a shot is more art than science. Here's one way to hone your barroom style.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Liquor
A shot glass
A bar
An audience
A toast
Salt
Chasers
A lime wedge

Step 1: For best results, sit or stand at a bar so you'll have something to slam your glass onto after downing your shot.

Step 2: Repeat the process. Get someone else to buy this time.

Step 3: Measure 1½ ounces into a shot glass.

Tip: For tequila shots, take a bite of lime just after downing the shot.

Step 4: Raise the glass to your lips. Tip head and glass back together in one motion. Let the liquor flow down, bypassing your taste buds as much as possible. Enjoy the burning sensation.

Tip: For tequila shots, sprinkle a little salt between your thumb and forefinger and lick it off just before doing the shot.

Warning: Don't drink unless you're of legal age. Drink responsibly, and never drink and drive.

Step 5: If desired, follow with an icy chaser. Beer is a time-honored choice after bourbon. Cola will do in a pinch.

Tip: Don't waste a fine scotch or top-shelf tequila on shots. The whole point of a shot is to not taste what you're downing.

Step 6: Whiskey, tequila, and vodka are all classic choices. Don't embarrass yourself by doing shots of Irish cream.

Step 7: Doing a shot should be dramatic. If nobody's watching, what's the point? Make a toast to attract attention. Buy a round if you have to.
