How to politely tell the bartender....
 

.... that she's watering your drinks down and you kindly request that she discontinue doing so?

I swear. I'm out drinking with my buddy the other night and we're asking for tequila shots in between our beers and the beer was packing more of a punch. There's NO way those shot glasses contained only tequila. We even tried switching brands and it was still the same crap.

I decided not to tell her "hey fatty, stop watering down my [censored]!" for fear of her using the solid black color of my next "Perfect Pint" of Guinness as camouflauge for a big glob of spit.

What's my play?

Agreed. I can't think of a good way to tell a bartender that.

Don't they pour the shot in front of you?

When I took a bartending class they told us that the law mandated pouring all drinks up on the bar in front of the customer.

I've seen bartenders chill tequila first before pouring the shots, which means putting it in a shaker with ice. Perhaps that's what made the shots taste watered down. If that was the case, I'd ask the barkeep not to chill the tequila first...

I've never had a problem with the bar before. It was just this particular bartender. Place was pretty full and we had crappy seats so no other bartenders ever walked by.

There's gotta be a polite way to say this... I mean, if she ISN'T watering the drinks down, then they shouldn't taste that way. If she IS doing it, then she knows she screwed up and got caught.

I assumed you meant that the place was watering down the tequila in the bottle. I've been to some bad bars before but I can't imagine someone actually watering down a shot when they pour it.
