Little bit of booze!
PROBLEM: There is just a little bit of booze in the bottle, and the bottle takes up so much room in the liquor cabinet. You can't tell at a glance, which of the bottles, have only a taste left in them. And you don't find this out until you go to make yourself, or worse yet your guests, a much needed 'beverage', only to find out that the 'cupboard is almonst bare'. 
SOLUTION: I'm a big fan of 're-purposing' things, so I came up with the idea of using empty Alfredo sauce jars. When I get down to about 1/4 bottle of liquor, I put the spirits in the glass jar, and then I know to buy more 'juice' when I'm shopping. 
And these jars stack very well, taking up alot less space, making room for more full bottles.

That's a very well stocked cabinet. Please be sure to tell me when and where you will be camping in the coming year.

I do my camper liquor cabinet a little differently. I refill my bottles from the 1s in my house before every trip. If I empty a house bottle, then it is time to go the pharmacy (ABC Store) to get my prescription refilled.

This sounded like a thread turbs would have started. Of course, I have a feeling he wouldn't leave a taste left over and would know for certain what was and wasn't left

When they get to that point you might as well just finish them.

Sorry to disappoint on the 'alcoholic' thing....There is a bottle of booze in the cabinet that's left over from my wedding reception in 1973!!! 
When at home, I'm lucky to have 1 beverage a week.....I don't like to drink alone.
But at the campground, surrounded by friends at the campfire....anything goes!

Wow, what a novel idea. I didn't know you could keep spirits after the bottle was opened. I've never left any for later.

That's as good an excuse as any I have ever heard for emptying a bottle of booze.
