2012-13 Tulane Student Guide

2. Alcohol Licenses or Permits The state of Louisiana requires a proper license or permit for any function where alcohol is sold. Further information concerning state alcohol permits can be found at www.atc.rev.state.la.us. Vendors holding a state-issued Alcohol Beverage License are the only parties allowed to serve alcoholic beverages at events held outdoors on university property.

3. Identifying Students of Legal Age The vendor serving alcohol at the event is responsible for identifying those individuals at the event who can legally consume alcohol. The checking of government-issued identification will occur adjacent to the point of service, where wrist banding will take place. Banding and service shall not be provided to any individual without clear evidence of legal age. The use of a falsely obtained wristband is subject to sanctions under the Student Code of Conduct.

4. Alcohol Servers and Service • Beer and wine are the only alcoholic beverages approved to be served at events on a university quad.

Only one drink will be served to an individual at a time. Alcoholic drinks must be served in 12 ounce (beer) or 6 ounce (wine) containers distinct from those in which non-alcoholic drinks are served. Kegs managed by third-party vendors are permissible. The University prohibits alcoholic beverages over 100 proof or the serving of alcohol in vats or punch bowls.

• The recommended Alcohol Consumption Formula is: One serving of alcohol per person per hour, for each guest of legal age. One serving of alcohol is measured as follows: o Beer: Twelve ounces in volume o Wine: Five ounces in volume • Servers of alcohol shall not consume alcoholic beverages before or during the event. At social functions where alcoholic beverages are served, direct access should be limited to a person(s) designated as the server(s), by a licensed vendor or the social host.

• Secondary serving is prohibited. Individuals of legal age may not provide alcohol to minors. If it is found that secondary serving occurred, all parties involved will be fined $200 each, required to attend BASICS and will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct for additional sanctions.

• The university reserves the right to refuse to serve anyone who appears to be in danger of overconsumption. Intoxicated persons are not to be served alcoholic beverages or permitted to possess alcoholic beverages.

• Alcoholic beverages must be consumed only within designated areas on campus. No alcoholic beverages may be brought into an event when alcoholic beverages are being served or sold by event organizers.

The only alcoholic beverages that may be possessed or consumed at the function are those beverages sold or served at the event location. Under no circumstances may any alcoholic beverage be permitted to leave the approved area of the event.

• Service of alcohol will end 30 minutes before the end time of the event. For events that are scheduled for 4 hours or longer, service will end 60 minutes before the end of the event.

• No alcoholic beverage may be purchased through undergraduate student organization funds, nor may the purchase of alcohol for members or guests be undertaken or coordinated by any member in the name of, or on behalf of, the undergraduate student organization.

• No department or student organization may enter into an agreement to co-sponsor an event with an alcohol distributor, bar or charitable organization where alcohol is given away, sold, or otherwise provided to those present.

5. Alternatives to Alcohol Beverages and Food • Hosts must provide one or more nonalcoholic beverages e.g. soft drink, water, juice, or coffee in sufficient quantity throughout the event. The alternative beverage(s) should be available at a price equal to or less than the price of the alcohol being provided.
