overpour
Fill past brim
To overpour is to pour too much, especially when serving drinks.
A bartender who overpours gives more alcohol than the recipe calls for—generous for the customer, costly for the bar: She tends to overpour when her friends come in.
The noun overpour refers to the excess amount or the practice itself.
