Apparently my argument is not clear. Correct; laws are not made to be broken. Exploiting a loophole is not a breaking of the law. A loophole may be a oversight or weakness of the law or it may an intentional flexibility built into the law. If you wish to change a law to address a loophole, do it through the proper channels. Beer tastings outside of an established business in RI are illegal unless under the circumstances of such a loophole. If this event did not meet those legal requirements, I would expect to see it shut down and would have no issue with it. Wanting something to be true does not make it so.
