Re: [CAR-PGa] Re: Gaming conventions worsening

I have no idea what the Texas comment meant and so can't reply until it is spelled out.  Physiology is physiology anywhere in the world.

One of the tried and true promotions of a product is to give out free samples.  This obviously is not being met in the overpriced liqueurs of the hotel bar, thus my previous comment on how little they are used during game conventions.

The A in CAR-PGa is the advancement of RPG and this must include the future generations of potential players of our games.  Of course one has the legal right to poison self and consenting friends in one's home (see etymology of intoxication), so let's get that out of the way, the subject is game conventions and their effect on public perceptions of RPG.
     
Now, boiled down, the question is how many parents are going to want their kids to go to a game convention where one feature is free beer for anyone over 21 and not visibly staggering?  Is the answer self-evident or do we have to toss this to kids-rpg.com for a formal survey?

I am willing to stipulate that anything that I say about alcohol may
be different in Texas. ;)

The particular convention I got that piece of advice from wasn't
occurring somewhere with any other source of alcohol on the premises;
a bar would serve the same purpose. Speaking of gaming in general,
though, does anyone here have any good or bad experiences with
allowing booze at the table? I imagine that among the right friends,
it wouldn't be a problem, but does anyone know anything to suggest
that gaming and alcohol do or don't mix?
