• where guests contribute towards buying alcohol, such as social club fees

• if alcohol is provided at a business function where the organiser may obtain a financial benefit, such as functions with the intent of increasing or maintaining their client base for example:
  • networking events
  • VIP events
  • corporate events
• if alcohol will be consumed at a regulated location or premises such as:
  • a restaurant, cafe, or shop
  • a bus, train, or boat - on tours
