Depends on the size of the shot, and this varies from bar to bar. Some bars 
pour 1 oz (30 ml) shots, others pour 1.5 oz (45 ml) shots. In the US, shots 
are usually between 1 oz and 1.5 oz. I've seen 1.25 oz shots used as a 
standard in some places. At the country club where I work, we pour 2 oz shots 
(60 ml) shots for club members and their guests, but 1.5 oz shots for host and 
cash bars.

In some countries, sizes of shots are regulated by the government rather than 
by the bar owners. These can be as low as 20ml.

To find out how many shots are in a 750 ml bottle, pick a shot size. I 
personally prefer the 1.5 oz shot. 750/45 = 16.666666667 shots.
