it was highly stressed at the event that any alcohol use would
automatically stop us from using the park in the future.

Why?!

1. Pour in plastic or paper cups.
2. Have a ground clean-up crew for after the race.
3. Arrange to be in the vicinity of good public tranportation or hire
some extra coaches yourself.
4. Perhaps announce breath tests at the car park after the event.

And don't forget to only sell beer in spots that also sell bratwurst
and burgers. It helps you, it helps them.

I have no idea, the park department made the rules. They had law
enforcement at the park to make sure that the rules were being followed.

It is a big park that has multiple uses and there were other events going on
that had to follow the same rules.

I recall some Canadian Snooker player who had a degenerative nervous
disease who thought alcohol suppressed the symptoms, so would drink
beer during his matches.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had almost disabling gout for several years and the only way to suppress
the symptoms was to drink beer until I had a heavy hangover. Then I'd be
able to walk normally for a couple of days. The gout was finally (after four
specialists and two GP's) discovered and treatment prescribed and after 10
years I was able to get off of medication and now am essentially without
symptoms as long as I ride.

Good news! Alcohol is prohibited only for in-competition use, and only
in a very restricted set of sports.

Indeed. This was discussed on a local forum some time ago. It turned out
that neither UCI or WADA regulations ban alcohol use in competetive
cycling. Traffic regulations might, if we're talking about road racing
on open roads, but that depends on where you are. Over here riding a
bicycle drunk is fortunately legal as long as you "do it safely".

dumbass,

when serving alcohol there's a whole ball of legal and liability
implications.

we're having a beer tent the two 'cross races that were are hosting
this weekend and it involves a considerable amount of extra red tape
and expense.

every region has it's idiosyncrasies, but here we have to obtain a
liquor license to serve or sell alcohol. open container laws prohibit
drinking in public areas that are not licensed.

we have to control access to where the alcohol is served and consumed
(to keep alcohol away from minors and intoxicated persons) and we have
to have security staff in the beer tent to deal with problems that may
arise.

not going through the proper channels would probably mean the end of
our access to the venue.
