Tequila Scam

Watch out for the Tequila scam. They put cheapo stuff in bottles that were from the good stuff. They have found out how to defeat the tamper resistant closures that are on the good bottles.
I worked for the company that made the tamper resistant closures and thought they would be fool proof, but any security means can be defeated.
Many bars don't give you the cheap stuff until you are wasted enough not to know the taste difference.

At least in this scam you get something other than air.

Not new in Mexico !  It is an old game in bars with all types of Liquor.

It has been done in bars NOB for years. The term is "pouring" and it means that garbage stuff is poured into the good stuff bottle after both are opened. Sometimes the two are mixed to extend the good stuff, sometimes the bottle just garbage stuff figuring most people can't tell the difference.

But harder with the new closures on the good stuff. Then there is the music in the fermentation rooms

Just like the Heinz ketchup bottle on every table in every restaurant.

Bar sold rubbing alcohol mixed with food dye as scotch, say authorities
