Bob: That's right. Uh $200, and you boys drank $300 worth of beer.
Elwood: Uh, well, like, when we first come in the bar lady never charged us for the first round so like we figured you know beer was like complimentary for the band.
Entertainers per WAC 314-02-010 may drink while performing under the following conditions:
(A) Alcohol service must be monitored by MAST servers;
(B) Drinks must be served in nondescript containers;
(C) Entertainers may not advertise any alcohol brands or products;
(D) Entertainers may not promote drink specials; and
(E) All entertainers performing as a group must be twenty-one years of age or older or no alcohol may be consumed by any entertainer while performing.
And no, I don't know what MAST servers are, but whatever.
People drink all the time on stage.
If the WSLCB considers me an employee of the venue while I'm playing on stage, then myself and the other folks in my band should be getting paid minimum wage while we set up, play, and tear down. It would probably be more money than my bands have made at quite a few shows.
(d) Consume liquor of any kind while working on the
licensed premises; except that:
(i) Entertainers per WAC 314-02-010 may drink while
performing under the following conditions:
How is that not a change in the current policy? See the "except that" followed by "(i) Entertainers....may drink while performing......"
Yes there are still some conditions on musician drinking, but this is an end to the blanket prohibition, and the conditions don't seem particularly unreasonable.
Or am I missing something?
@7 Levi - MAST = Mandatory Alcohol Server Training. ("MAST permit holder" would make more sense.) Basically someone who has a liquor card, which in theory should be any employee who serves booze in a bar or restaurant.
