What is the most common alcoholic Shooter?

I see so many people these days, in Movies and on TV having Shooters.
Never had one in my life and they were never around in my drinking days in Tassie.
The purpose of drinking shooters is to get drunk, quicker?

People don't know their drinking.
A shooter isn't just a synonym for a shot. A shooter is a mixed drink you drink in a shot. Usually in a tall cylinder glass.

A shot of straight liquor isn't a a shooter, its just a shot.

@MethDozer So a Shooter also has a non alcoholic ingredient?

@Gusman No it can be a mixed cordial.

It's just mixed drinks served as a large shot. Usually in a taller narrower shot glass. Like lemon drops are a shooter, sex on the beach can be made into a shooter. , etc.
It's a cocktail served as shot instead of say a shot of tequila or a shot of whiskey.
