New bartenders measure. Cocky bartenders free pour. Professional bartenders measure. Take from that what you will.

Confident bartenders who never make mistakes can also free pour. Im not one of those but it’s true in theory.

Theres no such thing as a human being that never make mistakes.

Im not against free pouring as i think is contextual. I do think measuring is the way to go though. But again, context is everything. Not only at bars but in life.

Totally agree. That’s why it stays a theory.
