Alcohol is not THAT inmportant to an event but it sure is nice to sit down
to feast with a tankard of wine at my side. Ontarios'  alcohol law for
insurance is (I believe) $175 for the permit, which the insurance falls
under, and that the bartender has to attend a course on bartending (ie. how
to handle unruly drunken louts, the law, profit, etc.) and it costs as well.
Fortunately we sent one good gentle to this course and he now runs the bar
when we hold events.
