SLSC: Alcohol Policy

Alcohol Policy

SLSC shall comply with state liquor laws of New York as they relate to the purchase, service, consumption and storage of alcohol at the club.
It is the policy of the Club that the responsibility for the conduct of each member, his or her family and guests, in all matters including the provision, storage and consumption of alcoholic beverages on SLSC premises, lies with the individual member and that responsibility is not, and cannot be, assumed by SLSC. No alcoholic beverages should be consumed by or served to anyone who appears to be intoxicated.
No one under the age of 21 will be served or may consume alcoholic beverages of any kind. There will be no exceptions and all members have the obligation to intercede should they observe this to occur. Appropriate identification may be required.
SLSC members may bring beer, wine or liquor onto SLSC premises, and store it in an SLSC refrigerator while they are there. The alcohol should be consumed or removed by that member and guests and not left unattended at SLSC when they depart.
When alcohol is to be provided in conjunction with an SLSC event (regattas, social events) someone associated with the event must be designated beforehand as the "event alcohol officer" to ensure compliance with our regulations. He or she should secure the alcohol (lock the keg, remove the wine, etc) at a reasonable time at the end of the evening or event. An open keg or bottles of alcohol should never be left unattended and it is the responsibility of the designated alcohol officer to ensure that that doesn't happen.
Members and their guests using the house with the approval of the Flag Lieutenant House must adhere to these regulations at all times.
The club has designated an "SLSC Alcohol Officer" (the Vice Commodore) to oversee these provisions and make any recommendations for adjustments to the Board.
