So that means all the other bars/restaurants in my town are breaking the law? That seems unlikely to be true. Mass has the notorious blue laws around liquor- Vermont is not the same state

I don't know if it's illegal, but it might be the restaurants policy and they say it's illegal because that might be easier on the servers.

Which is more likely: That your local bars and restaraunts are openly breaking the law and risking their liquor license, or that they're making a Long Island Iced Tea with less alcohol than "normal"?

Lol I promise they aren’t doing that 😂

But even then that’s fine by me. Just super weird and confusing.

I don’t think you or the waitress are factually correct. It’s not likely either that every bartender in my town is just sneakily reducing the liquor, which again would still be fine by me. This is sounding more like a weird restaurant policy.

Vermont does have a limit on the "number of drinks" a bar tender can hand to a single customer in a single transaction. The "number of drinks" is not determined by the number of glasses or bottles but by the number of individual servings of alcohol. Long island ice teas can contain 4-5 servings of alcohol. They might actually be illegal for bars to serve in Vermont. Like with any liquor license/regulation enforcement can vary wildly from area to area. Bars/restaurants that have strikes on their records are far more likely to follow the law to the letter due to higher levels of scrutiny.
