SC - Russian embassy meal

[Alderton, Philippa]

Huette says:

>I am not sure that you can serve vodka or any other
alcoholic beverage at an SCA event anymore, per a
recent BoD ruling.  It was stated that no alcoholic
beverage can be served at banquets, given as gifts to
Monarchs, or offered as a prize or offered at an
auction.  Nor can you offer promissory notes for such.

They say that the only alcohol allowed is for personal
use.  It can be used in cooking, however.<

The newer rulings on alcohol are much less strict. You and you group cannot
use SCA funds for the purchase and serving of an alcoholic beverage, but if
you and your group as individuals choose to offer other individuals an
alcoholic beverage which you have purchased with your own funds, you're
fine. Only thing you have to do is act like you've got some sense- don't
serve minors and don't serve drunks, and don't let people who have gotten a
bit tiddly drive.

The SCA cannot mandate responsible behavior by responsible adults- it can,
however, determine how funds collected in its name may be used, and that's
really all the rulings can address.

The World's Need

So many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
When just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
