If you want to try and justify more, so be it.  But in most instances, potions are being used in combat under duress.  Seems highly likely they'd be dropped or destroyed if you were trying to manage several at a time.  There is a magical item somewhere that allows the user to have access to 6 potions readily. I'll just call it the Bat Belt.I've never had to worry about potions in my party as a DM.  We've never had players care or use potions in the game.  In my mind, this is a huge tactical mistake, but the only use of a potion has been to force feed a knocked unconscious PC.  I really doubt its something you need to limit though seeing as there is a cost to all potions.The more use they get out of your party, the less they'll have to spend on other magical items and the like.  As a DM, if you really wanted to put some form of control on it, you could just ease off the gold treasure and give out more magical items. You could also limit certain potions based on ingredient components being unavailable as a means to control abuse. Only x vials available in the city.</blockquote>
