This strikes me as terribly wrong minded.

A real drunk will have their own booze and time of day is irrelevant.

In all my years I have never seen some one just guzzle a tasting sample
during a class or competition. In fact, I generally only pour a splash in
at a time because that is all the average person is willing to drink on a
taste.

If you don't trust people to behave responcibly during a class, how can
you trust them to use the information you are giving them responcibly?

Even my own mead, which I allow to ferment until completion and is quite
stiff, takes more that a taste to make some one "tiddly."
