The Facts:: 

The Facts: $10.80 per 1.75L bottle of liquor 39.45 drinks per bottle at 1.500 oz per drink 36.98 drinks per bottle at 1.625 oz per bottle 39.45 drinks – 36.98 drinks = loss of 2.47 drinks per bottle 2.47 drinks * 7 bottles per week = 17.29 drinks per week 17.29 drinks * 52 weeks per year = 899.08 drinks per year $4.00 * 899.08 drinks = $3556.32 per year 3 * $3556.32 = $10,668.96 per year for three bottles per night 4 * $10,668.96 = $42,675.84 for four well liquors
