and not to derail this thread, but alcohol at a restaurant is extortion lol.
Went to a local place ( Previously Houstons ) for dinner not long ago- ordered Angels Envy and water. Had 2.
I paid $17 PER GLASS- so $34 for 2. A bottle of Angels retails for $50. So i basically paid them the wholesale price of a bottle that will net them another 20 servings at $17/ per serving
Triple retail at restaurants, for alcohol, has been a thing for decades. They always claim that it involves the server delivering it, the barkeep ( or sommelier if they have one) providing it, and the dishwashers having to clean the glassware.
But yes, paying $45 for a bottle of wine that retails for $15 ( bourbon in your case) is nuts, but we do it.
Kinda’ like paying for season tickets for a sports team that delivers a mediocre product.
