Yes, there is a huge difference between Bud Light cans and rare imported beers, empty gordon's vodka bottles vs a hundred dollar limited batch.
I hear you when you say, "downstairs, on a shelf above the bar." Yeah, that's a damn good place for a bottle collection. The living room is not generally a place for that. The only way I can see a bunch of empty bottles in a living room/kitchen area is if you are a serious wine/beer/liquor afficianado who has such an affectation for alcohol that the room has that theme going for it, and the bottles/cans etc. are part of it.
I've seen far to many college guys have empty party beer/liquor/etc. spread around the pad. While some displays were creatively arranged, even backlit, it's a serious dead giveaway you're either a punk kid, or an alkie. Those are the displays I was referring to.
