Those of you who are panicked at the thought of 50 dollar shots in a bar have never been out to a bar before. Two of the scotches I mentioned on the last page would run somewhere between 400 and 500 a shot in a bar. Jameson sells for between 10 and 20 a shot in most bars around here, blue label, easily approaches 50. some tequila bars have shots selling for around 1000 dollars. (side note: if you live in Denver, I know a bar that does 5 dollar "happy meals" which are a beer and shot of your choice, including top shelf, for their happy hour, any beer, any shot. they don't do super premiums, but a shot of jame-o and a blue moon for 5 bucks is a fucking deal)
Also, if you've never been introduced to the concept of bottle service, a club will buy a case of grey goose at wholesale, paying something along the lines of 16-20 dollars a bottle, and turn around and sell that bottle for between 200-500 dollars to a group of Chads, Arabs, or businessmen in their midlife crisis. that doesn't include the cost of the table, tax or tip, and most clubs require 2 or 3 bottles minimum. Hows that for burning cash?
