I was implying that the contents of the bottle were not bought by the
officer, but donated by a member therefor it was not covered by the 'not
bought by the sca, nor distributed at an event' bit. it is the same if
somebody made an exquisite piece of elven work that would not be
appropriate to wear at an event[the reasonable attempt garb clause] but
would not be barred from being auctioned off. I have seen a chainmaile
bikini top auctioned off, and I daresay that there is no person who
would condone the wearing of such a thing anywhere but Pennsic.

 It is against alcohol being distributed as an official part of the
 event, or by officers of the SCA as part of thier offical duties.
 thanks for your patience,
