Does anyone do shots when drinking alone?

I'm a sipper, both socially and when winding down alone at night, especially the latter. Can be any long drink - a cocktail, an IPA or a stout, a sippable liquor. I just put a glass in front of me, concentrate on something I'm watching/listening and absentmindedly sip whatever's in the glass every minute or so until it's empty and needs a refill.

Things is, enjoyable sipping drinks are kind of expensive and I'm kind of struggling right now, so thinking of trying vodka shots or something. I don'r really mind doing shots, it just kind of doesn't work for me mechanically - pouring shots, spacing them out, etc. So I'm curious if anyone does it and what habits do you have around it?
