After reading this thread, I started to wonder about these little
bottles and went into a few liquor shops in my neighborhood, the Upper
East Side of Manhattan, New York City.

I was shocked. The average tiny bottle costs between two and three
dollars and more for better brands. $2.99 plus tax for one tiny drink
of J. Walker Red and $3.99 for J. Walker Black? Ridiculous.
