Is it really illegal to marry liquor bottles?

I am a bartender in south florida and was told that it is illegal to combine liquor bottles. Let's say one bottle is almost gone and you want to pour it into another bottle to save room, when it is the exact same liquor. Is this really illegal? If so, where can I find proof?|||It is if they are same sex bottles.|||in california it is completely illegal..could result in major fine to bar and bartender fine can include bar closure for up to 15 days. here's the actual fla. law
