[hackerspaces] Alcohol policies?

[matt]

I mean machine shop rules apply at all times in all places.  No drugs,
alcohol, etc.  No long clothes / untied hair.  No operating heavy equipment
alone in the space.  Use safety equipment and make sure someone has trained
you to use something before you use it.
