It does work, that's quite a clever approach!  Basicly the bottle weight is 
being canceled out from both sides of the equation.  

Our bar actually pays a company to come in and do weekly inventories.  This is 
what they do exclusively and they're well equipped to do it.  All of those 
figures such as  bottle weights and densities of products are in their 
database.  They weigh each bottle and use a bar-code scanner to scan the 
bottle, from there the software can connect that weight measurement with the 
product, bottle size, liquor weight and so forth.  

It's very accurate, it's independent and thankfully none of us ever have to 
count and measure bottles!
