"Is it necessary to attend an event where you would not normally expect alcohol when you are with your children?" This sentence refers to conversations with some other parents who had raised concerns about the waterfront area. Parents spoke of the fact that many would not have heard about the beer fest and just planned to enjoy the waterfront or the clam shack on that particular day. They would not be expecting a beer fest and would inadvertently expose their child to the activity. This is why beer fests or free tastings are legally bound to take place at an established business. There is no problem with alcohol being served where you expect it to be served. It is then your choice to visit that establishment or not. This is why the laws are in place.
