You could make a fair amount of money off a bottle of alcohol that never goes empty.

Wow, you’re pretty clever! That big brain of yours isn’t just a hat rack!

Now you have half the money your state fair made last year.

Yep. Buy a barrel.

An infinite amount of money, one might say.

No, because you'll eventually oversupply the market, and your product will lose value.
Of course you could still become very rich by selling it rationally, but try for infinite and you'll either crash your business, or the entire economy.

I doubt an entire economy would crash over just an oversupply of alcohol
Also, isn't alcohol a pretty non-durable good? It's not like someone gets a single drink and is done. You can sell alcohol to the same person plenty of times...

Oh sure. Like I said you could absolutely make a ton of money. Just not infinite.
And as realistically unlikely as you alone crashing the global economy is, it would still happen before you got infinite money.

Fair enough

You'll only oversupply the market if you sell it off quickly. If instead, you sell several dozen to a hundred shots out of it every day in your own little bar you will never do that.

Whisky, vodka, and rum.

If he had specified a different kind of liquor, sure, but he didn't, so the genie will give him exactly the same bottle with exactly the same contents

two? three!

Well, if he doesn't need two, he sure as hell doesn't need 3!

With a bottle that is never empty there is a chance he’ll be pretty drunken pretty often. He may break his magic bottle. Then he had two spare magic bottles
