Re: Opening a Bar
just from observation and have not worked in a bar that deals with this complaint. So I am not qualified to answer this, but I will give it a shot anyway.
a full cup of ice, with warm liquor, in a warm bar, in a warm hand leads to a quicker ice melt and more of a "watering down" effect.
Another issue could be a crappy gun system where the water comes out a little more first before the drink mix.
I think that if bars were known for watering down drinks that people would realize the drinks suck and not frequent that place anymore. As others have mentioned before repeat business is the key and watering down drinks would hurt that.
So I vote for urban legend and most watered down drinks are hopefully attributed to the above and not by dubious characters.
Just my .02
