Drinks Show a Model of Social Responsibility

This past weekend, the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) along with several other sponsors, held the Drinks Show at the Brickworks in Toronto. The event brings together liquor connoisseurs around the city to sample over 100 drink concoctions made of various liquors from around the world. While the sheer variety of drinks available at the show was impressive, even more impressive was the effort put forth by the LCBO to promote responsible drinking. Free shuttle buses were available from various downtown stops to the show with no available parking at the Brickworks. In addition to that, bottled water was also present at every booth for guests to take. Perhaps it was the older crowd involved as opposed to the Beer and Cocktails Show held in May, but nobody in the crowd appeared to be drunk out of their mind or anywhere close to it. The Drinks Show provides proof that if the hosts of an event makes a conscious effort to promote responsible drinking, partygoers tend to follow in line with the tone set by them. Kudos to the Drinks Show!
