Can anybody really tell the difference between premium and generic liquor? I sure can't.

Gin? Yes.
Rum? Yes.
Scotch? Definitely (but I only drink single malt)
Bourbon? Sometimes I really doubt it, don't drink it neat enough to know.
Vodka is for mixing.
Tequila es el Diablo.

after drink 7 or 8 no, but 100% if I'm mildly sober.

I'm sure you can tell when you are sober, but that really isn't the point now is it?

I worked somewhere that did that. In 3 years of pouring Seagrams 7 out of a Crown bottle, maybe 3 or 4 people questioned it as not tasting right. I'd say "huh, that's weird, lemme make you a new one", grab the real Crown (always have a real bottle handy for such occasions as well as certain regulars) and pour a new one.

No one ever could tell the difference between Taaka and Absolute, and Absolute and Kettle One.

Those were the only things sub'd out at that particular place. You also have to use common sense. If a guy orders Crown on the rocks, unless he's hammered, pour real Crown.

Only if I'm shooting vodka straight up(the only way I shoot at a bar). I can definitely tell difference between Crown Rousse and Amsterdam.
