Can profits from alcohol sales be made at private events according to SOP?

Yes, under certain conditions
No, personal gain is not allowed
Yes, if charity is involved
No, unless a public permit is acquired

The correct answer is: No, personal gain is not allowed

The correct approach to understanding the sale of alcohol at private events according to the Standards of Practice (SOP) emphasizes that personal gain from alcohol sales is not permitted. The SOP is designed to ensure responsible service and consumption of alcohol, particularly to prevent misuse and protect individuals and communities from the potential harms of excessive drinking. This means that any profits generated from alcohol sales at private events cannot be retained for personal benefit. When considering the context of the other options, while there are scenarios where events can have regulations in place (like those involving charity or needing permits), these do not apply to personal gain. The intent of the SOP is to prioritize responsible service over commercial enterprise at private gatherings, which is foundational to promoting public health and safety.
