According to hospitality industry experts, every year in the United States, over $7 billion is lost due to “liquor shrinkage.” What is “liquor shrinkage?” It happens when bartenders give out free drinks, overpour intentionally making drinks too strong, or make mistakes as they mix cocktails. It also happens when bottles of liquor disappear from bar storage areas due to theft. It all adds up to a major alcohol problem.
