We tend to err on 'don't restrict unless it become a serious
problem', in this case we have alcohol at our space, and members
BYOB. Sometimes there's leftover booze from parties and other
events. It hasn't caused a problem so far.<br>
<br>
Our Health and Safety policy is common-sense and due-diligence
based. We provide safety gear, procedures and training for specific
tools (like a laser cutter or cnc router), but otherwise you're on
your own. If you hurt yourself using power tools after 10 beers,
it's your own damn fault. <br>
<br>
Additionally, a member can be asked to leave, faces suspension or
even termination for irresponsible and dangerous behavior that goes
against the H&S policy.<br>

<div dir="ltr">We're currently looking at alcohol use in the

<div>We also have been hosting occasional "reception" events for
various organizations as a way of increasing visibility and
recruiting members. Beer and wine are served at those events,
but the breakers to the tools are turned off.

<div>I'm wondering if other spaces have considered alcohol
use, and how that's worked out?</div>
