It is a big deal. It depends on the reason why Ansteorra chose to
restrict ALL purchases as to whether I feel I can buy the alcohol myself.
Is it because of Texas State Law or Belief that only a completely
restrictive policy would be followed or that cooks are rich enough to
donate this particular item (yeah, inflammatory, I know) or Something
else?
I have seen elsewhere discussed that to take up a collection to pay for
alchol (home brew or store bought) is considered by Texas to be selling
alcohol. Does it apply to wine used in cooking? I don't know. Is that why
Ansteorra doesn't want to buy ANY alcohol? I don't know.
Again, the reasoning behind the ruling is what I am interested in.
