Yea, I'm planning on giving away some booze to some people I admire which sounds fine and dandy and all according to the rules but I'm wonding what the more finer bounderies are. Like... volume? and areas alowed for distributon of "gift" of happyness. How much am I handing out? about 15 bottles... each containing about 22 ounces ^.=.^; so about 330 ounces. I only ask becuse my dorm has a policy limiting the volume of beer and liquor "allowed" on campus. Now for where I can distribute. My plan of attack was to plonk a bottle down on tables or in paws as I wandered around the dealer's room and Westin. but somethign tells me it's a nono, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about giving away beer out of the trunk of my car. That seems a little suspicious no? So Kage? Giza? Would you mind clarifying and maybe let me know where the mine filed begins? |

This happens to be an area in which I have a certain expertise.
You cannot bring outside food or beverages into the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, nor into Anthrocon function space.
However, a private hotel room, or con ops, which is my room since I never actually sleep, is acceptable to make a person a gift of alcohol.
I do not know how much you can bring into the state without paying a tax. I wouldn't be too loud about if I were you.

So, no booze in convention function space, thats fair enough. I assume that also means "The Zoo" is offlimits to booze as well? I assume its because there will be minors there. What about between places? Like the lobby or the two upperfloors?

No drinks in the Con center from outside? Total Bummer. I usually get thirsty a lot and will want to bring in anything.

That's 'outside' drinks. Beverages are available for purchase from vending machines of the concession stand in the DLCC, or from restaurants at/neat the Westin.

Precisely. The Westin is in the hospitality business. Bringing a beer in to one of their ballrooms is like going into a nice fancy restaurant with a lunchbox and just ordering a cup of coffee while you chow down on your ham sandwich. It's just rude.
Now, if you buy the beer from them, then everyone is happy. They get to sell you beer, you get to drink the beer, and if you so desire, you can get more beer from them since they are right nearby.

Correct. That is for those who want to have customers enjoying beer/wine, but don't have a liquor license.
In general, it is best to assume that a restaurant is not BYOB unless they state otherwise.

permalinkWell if they didn't charge a retarded price for beer, we wouldn't have to bring our own.
Not so much a complaint as an opinion.
I will be bringing "Aged Beer" And none of what I bring is available from the Hotel. And it will not be given away.

I can't recall having an amusement park, movie theater or general place of business stop and tell me that I wasn't allowed to have an outside bottle of water with me.

Well, in the late '90s, the nation went through one of our periodic "Fitness Crazes", which usually coincide with a certain element of puritanism; they eventually run their course, and harmlessly disappear from the forefront of public awareness; THIS one, however, has been rather tenacious. One of the early effects was the notion of "hydration", the rise of popularity in bottled water as a "Healthy" alternative to municipal water supplies, and the Fashion of water bottle "carriers", attached to straps or belt-loops, as a modern and stylish "Urban Canteen". Places that would turn you away at the gate or the door with a cooler, a thermos, or a six-pack, now barely blink at a liter-sized sports-bottle of water. It is now commonly regarded as essential as a purse or cell phone, indispensible to modern-day daily survival.
You know - Kinda like "Starbuck's" and "Krispy Kreme".

For me, the bottle is simply a carrier of water when I can find it. I drive a cylinder truck for work and a one liter bottle always stays in the truck. It gets filled up when it needs to be, from various sources and places of business. It's something I like to have with me but it's definitely not a fashion accessory.

Hey,
I know I have a camel pack with me, it's attached to my backpack, so if i need the water, i can get to it, good for suiting, as it has a long hose.
