Exactly.  Build a par and stick em to it.  If they can't do that, enforce it.  
If it can't be enforced, be a dick about it - after the weekend shift is over, 
UNstock the bar.  Any bottle that is unopened gets put back in storage.  Extra 
bottles get married.  Make it a pain in the ass for them, let them know that 
if they're willing to do the work, you are too, and you'll quickly find that 
things shape up.
