What happens if a private event serves alcohol to uninvited guests?

It’s permitted with a special allowance
It is against the rules
It depends on the location
It may lead to penalties for the host

The correct answer is: It is against the rules

Serving alcohol to uninvited guests at a private event is typically against the rules. This practice can violate the conditions under which a liquor license is issued and can lead to issues related to liability and responsible service of alcohol. Regulations surrounding the service of alcohol often require that the event be closed to the public and that alcohol is only served to invited guests. Therefore, uninvited guests pose a risk to both the event's legality and the safety of the participants. The other options present varying degrees of applicability but do not correctly reflect the general rules regarding alcohol service in private events. Penalties may apply depending on specific circumstances, and the permissibility can vary based on location, but directly serving alcohol to uninvited guests is fundamentally against established guidelines.
