Can private events serving alcohol be attended by anyone?

Yes, anyone can join
No, only invited guests can attend
Yes, but only if they register in advance
No, only staff members are allowed

The correct answer is: No, only invited guests can attend

Private events serving alcohol are typically exclusive gatherings meant for invited guests only. The reason for this is mainly related to liability and responsibility for the event host. Since these events are private, the host controls who can attend, ensuring that they are responsible for the actions of those present. Invited guests are generally people who have a direct connection to the host or the occasion being celebrated, which maintains a level of privacy and security that is often sought after in these types of events. Allowing anyone to join could lead to logistical challenges and potential legal issues regarding the service of alcohol to individuals who may not be of legal drinking age or who may not align with the expectations of the event. Optionally, while registration in advance can be a feature of some private events, it does not negate the fundamental nature of the event being private. Thus, the correct understanding of private events revolves around the concept of invitation and exclusivity.
