You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

That's what your bartender is thinking as he takes your order. In New Jersey, and I suspect lots of other places, there is a good chance that the stuff in your glass is not what you ordered.

This week's action was the result of a year-long undercover investigation, in which agents from the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) used a new instrument — the True Spirit Authenticator — to analyze alcohol samples quickly and cheaply. Early this year, agents visited 63 establishments and ordered straight shots of premium brands of liquor, then slipped off with a total of 150 samples; 30 were not as advertised.
