This is a VERY broad question.

The first step is how to count your physical inventory down.  This is done on 
a 10 point scale - .2 is 1/5 of a bottle, .5 is 1/2, and so on.  This, of 
course, determines how much you have.

To keep a handle on liquor cost, though, you need to figure out how much 
you're pouring, and how many shots you get out of a bottle.  Do you want a 1.5 
oz. pour to be your standard?  1.25 oz.?  Then you have to figure in bottle 
size, 750ml or 1L.  Once you make those decisions, tracking your liquor pours 
becomes possible.
