The US researchers from Cornell University asked 198 students and 86 bartenders to pour a shot of alcohol.
They found students poured 30% more into the short glasses, while bar workers faired only slightly better at 20%, the British Medical Journal said.
The groups poured more than a standard shot measure into both types of glasses.
Students also said they thought the tall glasses held more, suggesting they were trying to compensate for size when pouring into the short, wide glasses.
Perhaps a graduated cylinder would be an appropriate gift so we know how much alcohol to put into our glasses!
