umm, either you've never had a drink or you don't understand how alcohol works.
That quantity is supposed be that much only.
Wine 🍷 flutes/glasses are meant to be smelled and enjoyed in a particular manner.
Whisky 🥃 has to go with water/soda/ice. If you add too much, it's flavours don't get released properly and you can't even drink entire glass-full of whiskey. That's quick death, lmao.
Thoda thoda piyo, thik thak jeeyoge. 😆
Another reason is when we touch the glass, the heat from our hand is transferred onto the glass. It spoils the taste of liquor. It is meant to be served chilled. So the smaller quantity can be finished before the drink is too hot.
