ALCOHOL BEVERAGE POLICY The following guidelines have been adopted to govern events where alcoholic beverages are served or provided on University of Georgia property. These guidelines apply to all events at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia regardless of whether the event is sponsored by a University unit, external entity, or private individual. Strict observance to these guidelines is required. 1. Check Identification. Alcoholic beverages must not be provided or served to persons below the legal drinking age. Therefore, the sponsoring University unit or University official, agent, or employee must check for proper identification before serving any alcoholic beverage and must reject any questionable forms of identification. 2. Refuse to Serve Intoxicated Guests. If a participant or guest appears intoxicated, the sponsoring University unit or University official, agent, or employee must not serve any additional alcohol to that person. Furthermore, a reasonable effort should be made to arrange a safe trip home. 3. Provide Non-Alcoholic Beverages. The sponsoring University unit or University official, agents, or employee should provide plenty of non-alcoholic beverages so as to avoid the problem of â&#x20AC;&#x153;forcingâ&#x20AC;? guests to drink alcoholic beverages because there is nothing else to drink. There needs to be parity between the quantity and variety of nonalcoholic beverages. 4. Serve Food. When alcohol is served or provided at a lunch, dinner, or reception, there needs to be plenty of food available. 5. Do Not Permit Self-Service of Alcoholic Beverages. The sponsoring University unit or University official, agent, or employee should use staff members or hired bartenders to serve alcoholic beverages in order to limit the size and number of drinks being served and to spot those who may be intoxicated. Where the function involves a sit-down meal at which alcohol is served, waiters and waitresses should be instructed to ask before automatically refilling wine or liquor glasses. 6. Restrict Alcoholic Beverages to a Controlled Area. The sponsoring University unit or University official, agent, or employee must take adequate steps to ensure that alcoholic beverages are not allowed outside the predetermined boundaries for the event. All alcoholic beverages should be consumed or disposed of by all guests or participants before they leave the premises. 7. Limit or Eliminate References to Alcoholic Beverages in Advertisements. Advertisements or invitations to University events where alcoholic beverages are being served should emphasize the nature of the event, and not the alcoholic beverages. Keep references to the type and quantity of alcoholic beverages to be served out of promotional materials. 8. Addendum to the UGA policy for the Day Chapel at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia: Only champagne, champagne punch, white wine, and non-alcoholic beverages may be served or consumed in the reception hall and on the garden terrace. No beer bottles, cans, kegs or open-bars are permitted. Absolutely no food or drink is permitted on the sanctuary level. All other University guidelines and restrictions apply. 9. Addendum to the UGA policy for the Callaway Building: No red wine or grape juice may be served in this facility. No food or drink is permitted in the auditorium. All other University guidelines and restrictions apply. 10. Addendum to the UGA policy for The Garden Club of Georgia, Inc: No red wine or grape juice can be served in this facility. Kegs are NOT permitted. Absolutely no food or beverages on the front entrance level. All other University guidelines and restrictions apply.
