Subject: Serving alcohol

In Indiana  you cannot give alcohol away and cover it as part of the
room
rate.  That is considered selling alcohol.  Nor can you sell it without
a
very expensive (and hard to get under our quota system) license.  In
addition there is a federal license necessary for ANYONE ANYWHERE to
serve
alcohol to any paying guest.  Last year our legislature tried to work
something out that would cover small B&Bs without a permit or license
but it
all collapsed on these issues.
