Does anybody have a policy in place regarding this as it pertains to employee parties?  Please tell me about it.  Our annual soiree is fast approaching, and this is one hot topic.

Using a cash bar shifts the liability from the employer to those serving and being paid to serve the alcohol just as it would in an actual bar environment...



My four pence.. hey I Can say that now and not be pretentious!

I've been advised by establishments when setting up parties, NOT to have an "open" bar.  Seems they take this pretty seriously if they advise against something then can make money on.

What a sad state of affairs that someone does not have to take responsibility for their own consumption of alcohol but can blame anyone for their own inability to control themselves.

I agree Radar O! Seems no one is willing to take responsibility for their own actions anymore. It's always someone else's fault. It sickens me.

Tokens for two free units is an idea that I've seen on these boards in the past. Or free soft drinks.

At our holiday party we get tickets for two free drinks.  DH and I always use ours for orange juice anyway--these are the last people I'd like to be inebriated with.  Most of the people I work with are pretty cheap and aren't going to spend their cash on further drinks, although at the last party bossie did buy me a glass of wine.

This reply is from KKnisley -- she has been unable to post in this discussion group for quite a while for reasons unbenownst to her and asked me if I would post it for her.



"You must check with your particular state regulations, but in Ohio, the company where the alcohol is served is liable as well as whoever is serving it (like a caterer).  They also have to have a special liquor license.  They can be held liable if someone is in an auto accident or if they fall on the premises."

Thanks, everybody.  I ended up going to a seminar and got some good tips on how to write one.  ohiosec, I wonder if kknisley had the same problem as I did for awhile and just couldn't get registered as a user on the first several tries.  And, then, once I did register, I didn't understand how to log in (you can dress me up like a computer geek, but . . . )  LOL
