Constantly when asking an intoxicated young person how much they have had they tell me "only I.e. 10 drinks". When they describe the drink I translate this into standard drinks (about 15)and they just don't believe me. Any awarenes of this type I belive has to be worth something. However shots over the counter don't come with labels. Liquor licensing needs to put into place regulation signs indicating the number of standard drinks in each drink they sell as well as the advertising on the bottled product.

Moderation is the key; and unfortunately too many people can't stop at one or two.
