so, this to me does not suggest that we cannot donate a bottle of
something to be auctioned, as the officer/s is/are not providing it for
consumption at an event. it might be construed as implied that the
purchaser may in fact consume it at the sight[provided the site were wet
or damp] but dies not implicitly state that the auctioned booze is
required to be consumed. to me this means all the auctioneer has to do
is make sure that an officer is not donating the hooch, and the
purchaser has to be of age, and the hooch is to be consumed at either
the home, or a suitablt moist site. now, if the booze is donated and
bought nder these conditions, i think it would all under the normal
raffle of nonprofit orgs category. granted i am not admitted tothe bar
here in CT, but I have been dabbling in pre law with an eye towards
getting admitted...but that will be in the future.
