From Sunday through Thursday, events must end by 10:00 PM and events held Friday and Saturday must end no later than 2 AM. For the last 30 minutes of the event, only non-alcoholic beverages may be served. • An adequate amount of food and alternative beverages (such as water, juice, assorted sodas, coffee, and teas) must be available throughout the duration of the event. These will be provided at the cost of the organization(s) holding the event.

Sober monitors are not to consume any alcoholic beverage before or during the approved event. • The third-party vendor must provide an ID checker.
