What is Anticipation Bottle?
1.
A bottle of hard liquor that someone purchases while still owning a partially consumed bottle of the same or similar liquor. The bottle is purchased with the thinking that the partially consumed bottle will soon be fully consumed and the person doesn't want to be put in the situation where they've run out completely.
"Don't you already have half a bottle of Jim Beam at home?"
"Yeah but this is my ANTICIPATION BOTTLE. I don't want to run out. It's only Friday!"
