1 shot =  1 1/2 ounces 
1 pony =  1 ounce
  
A "shotglass" is usually 1.5 ounces, but sometimes 2 ounces with a measuring 
line at 1.5 ounces. You can also buy (in US) "short shot" glasses or "pony 
shots" which are 1 ounce. Pony shots are usually used with martinis, 
manhattans, and rob roys.

There are 64 ounces in a half gallon.  A shot ranges from 1 ounce to 1 1/2 
ounces.  If you pour 1 oz shots you have 64 shots in a half gallon, and if you 
pour 1.5 ounce shots you would have 42.67 shots per gallon.
