But I've hit a bit of a roadblock.How much liquor could a still produce? How liquor does a speakeasy  consume? Google fu has failed me, but I've put together a little guide  that i'd love some feedback on particularly from anyone who works in  bar/club industry.Speakeasy consumption and size:TinyYour dice game around the corner or the brothel up the street, a  place that doesn't make it's sole income from liquor sales but offers  drinks to client25 bottles of spirits a week (seems too small )5 barrels of beer per weekSmalllarge gambling dens, big brothels. Liquor still not the main focus,  unless it's a small bar, but it makes up a large percentage of the  profits100 bottles of spirits a week20 barrels of beerMediumAverage bar open only a few nights or a large restaurant 400 bottles of spirits a week(seems a bit high)50 Barrels of beerLargeLarge popular clubs and jazz halls, open all night with rambunctious crowds 800 bottles of spirits75 Barrels of beerHugeWhat ever hood dreams of owning, open to high society with plenty of dough to drink and dance life away1500 bottles of spirits 100 barrels of beerSo the numbers I sort of just made up, not a whole lot to base it off of  except for a short conversation with my local student bartender. the other question is how much can a still and or brewery produce? I'm  sure it varies by alcohol type, but a general range would be great!So fire up the gramophone, pour yourself some Canada Club, and let's brainstorm ways to take on the liquor trade!Cheers,Inquisitor Leet</blockquote>
