University of Washington Alumni Association Alcohol Policy
Updated September 2005
The purpose of this alcohol policy is to establish service standards for alcohol at Alumni Association events.
POLICY:
Alumni Association volunteers and Alumni Relations staff members may not sell or serve alcohol at any event hosted, sponsored, and/or supported by Washington State University Alumni Association or Alumni Relations, under any circumstances.
“Bring your own booze” (BYOB) events are not allowed under any circumstances.
When alcohol is served at events that are hosted, sponsored, and/or supported by University of Washington Alumni Association or Alumni Relations, a qualified third party vendor (for example, a caterer or restaurant) must be used, and the contract with the vendor must specify the following:
Vendor agrees to be in charge of managing all alcohol sales and service at the event. This includes selling drink tickets if used, properly verifying age, and monitoring to avoid over-service to intoxicated individuals.
Vendor agrees to be fully authorized and licensed to sell alcohol at the time and location of the event.
Vendor agrees to provide a qualified bartender(s) trained to properly verify age and avoid over-service.
Vendor agrees that only the bartender(s) will serve alcohol.
Vendor agrees to obtain and strictly comply with any additional permits for alcohol service required at the location of the event, and any local alcohol rules, regulations, ordinances and policies which may be in effect.
Vendor agrees not to provide alcohol “self service” or provide alcohol by any other uncontrolled means.
Demonstrated compliance with this alcohol policy is required before an Event Authorization can be approved.
