Free Alcohol Charge

No, you cannot promote giving away alcohol in the state of Illinois, which apparently a representative of Hollywood Lounge did back in May. From the agenda of the Liquor Control Commission for next Tuesday's meeting:

Charges were presented to the licensee, Hollywood Lounge, that on or about May 14, 2017, Thomas Michael Newell, agent of said licensee did knowingly promote “free alcohol” on social media in breach of Ill. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 100.280, a violation of Section 2-5-10 of the Carbondale Revised Code.

A hearing was held on August 3, 2017, regarding charges that the Hollywood Lounge staff did knowingly promote “free alcohol” on social media, which is a breach of Ill. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 100.280, and a violation of Section 2-5-10 of the Carbondale Revised Code. As a result of the hearing, the City Manager has made recommendations to the City Council.  The City Council can accept, dismiss, or modify the recommendations of the Hearing Officer.
