look any business that sells anything is gonna mark it up and add fees and what ever. But paying the same amount for two shots at a bar as you do for buying a 750ml (25) shots is CRAZY. And this is not an exaggeration that’s legitimately what it costs.
Why is the markup on drinks so incredibly high?

Profit. Pure and simple.
You’re paying everyone’s salary, the mortgage, the opportunity cost for the space, the convenience fee, etc.
Open a bar and you’ll see why.
Lease, wages, utilities, stock, waste, staff expenses not covered by wages, return on set up investment , maintenance the list goes on
Because you are willing to. Plain and simple.
Otherwise drink at home. Much cheaper
GOTTA PAY THE BILLS AND KEEP THE LIGHTS ON.
As a customer you’re paying for the atmosphere. If you’re a single male, you’re buying overpriced drinks because there’s a possibility that you might meet someone.
People have to eat. The overhead is large compared to buying at a store.
