What is Dial-a-shot?
1.
The process by which one person contacts another (via phone, text message, etc.) and shouts "dial-a-shot!", resulting in both people simultaneously taking a shot of whatever alcohol is available at that time. This was invented as a way to connect people separated by long distances and also to give people an excuse to take shots by themselves.
While on her trip to New York, Vicki's Seattle friend Meghan called her and shouted "dial-a-shot!" Vicki responded by grabbing the nearest bottle of grape vodka and taking a shot, while Meghan, in Seattle, took a shot at the same time.
