Hazelnut Flavoring? (lemmy.world)

Sometimes I like to add a touch of hazelnut to my coffee. Not often enough to buy a bag of hazelnut coffee though. I found that a few drops of Hobbyland's hazelnut flavoring added a perfect amount of flavor without any sweetness. Sadly they've gone out of business and I can't find a good replacement. Anyone have a good recommendation for an alternative?

Like absurdly large? I was curious, so I looked it up; it looks like shot sizes in US are typically larger than in Western Europe, but comparable with Eastern and Northern European countries: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_glass

That's fair, I guess it's not just american shot sizes that are absurdly large. Northern and eastern european countries are known to have big issues with alcoholism (Nordics less so nowadays, but that's because they put a lot of effort into fighting it).

I suspect it’s just one of those weird cultural foibles. The US isn’t too exceptional among Western countries regarding moderate or binge drinking. It consumes meaningfully less alcohol per capita than Germany, France, Ireland, and the UK among others, on par with Sweden, Finland, and Denmark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_consumption_per_capita. US alcoholism rates are about on par with Sweden, France, and Germany, some 25% lower than Ireland or the UK: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/alcoholism-by-country

I didn’t thoroughly research those numbers, but they square with my anecdotal experience. Soda is where the serving size really fucks us up.

There is a trend in high end spirit sales in the US to sell 1 or 1.25oz pours, 30 and 38ml respectively. It’s more a cost saving measure, but I do like it. 30ml is enough to try something.
