How many bottles of hard liquor do you have at home?

Same.

Several but we entertain frequently and like to have a stocked bar

2 types of rum
4 types of bourbon
1 scotch
1 expensive vodka for martinis
1 inexpensive vodka for mixing
1 flavored vodka
1 gin
1 tequila

Out of those, DH and I only drink bourbon and vodka and most of the bourbons were gifts.

1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of gin, and 1 bottle of limoncello. The vodka and gin might be five years old and have been opened. Do such things go bad? Hmm.

I drink a little bit of limoncello (one liqueur-sized glass) maybe once a month.

We don't really drink at home, more when we go to restaurants.

One. It's a half-empty bottle of Absolut vodka I've had in the freezer for years, in case a guest doesn't drink beer or wine. (they'd have to mix it with seltzer or a juice box, though, lol.)

On the other hand, I have about 20 bottles of red wine, and a handful of beers.

7 or 8 partial bottles. I'm pretty sure the only one I bought was peppermint schnapps to put in my hot cocoa last year. The rest are remnants of parties from many moons ago. We have lugged those stupid 1/2 empty bottles of liquor through multiple moves, because we just don't drink them but it feels a waste to throw them out when someone might like them some day!

Zero. Liquor doesn't stay long in our house. Dh drinks it or pours it out so he won't drink it. I swear he pours $1,000.00 of liquor down the sink every year.

zero. I'm a drunk so it doesn't stick around. I gave up on trying to keep a bar stocked.

We have one bottle of gin (not the wedding gin, that lasted 5 years...), there is a bottle of kahlua and an airplane bottle of bourbon I bought to spike my cider after shoveling snow but never opened.

I just counted... 26. And then there's the wine... And then there's the beer! DH and I both put ourselves through school working at liquor stores and initially bonded over our love of craft beer.

I'm so impressed by people who do this. We are wine people, but would like to have a nicely stocked bar... we just never want to spend the $ on liquor when we could spend it on wine, so we always end up with something like 1 half-bottle of run, 2 bottles of Scotch and some half-drunk bottle of gin someone left at our house after a party. Only two of these 4 bottles are what I would consider a decent liquor.

20-30. All Scotch. DH is a collector, but rarely has time to drink or anyone to have a drink with since I don't like alcohol.
