Where to get “practice” alcohol bottles?
My husband is taking a bartending course and needs empty alcohol bottles to practice serving drinks. He found some on ebay for $6 each, but he needs at least six bottles. I can’t handle paying almost $40 dollars for empty bottles.
Either go buy really cheap liquor, or ask a bar or restaurant if they will save them for you, or go at the end of the night to see if they will give them to you.
