With the profit margins on alcohol you really don’t need to be rich in it. The issue is acquiring a license to sell it.
But really, when you buy a single shot at a bar, (price and liquor dependent, ofc), it generally pays for 1/4 to 1/2 of the entire bottle, considering the bottles are normally purchased in bulk.
When I was bartending years ago we’d get bottles of Jameson whiskey for ~$15 a bottle, then sell shots for $5.00 each. 3 1.5oz shots sold from a 750ml bottle paid for the whole bottle and left another 14.5 shots to sell.
