Applying for a permanent Premises Licence can be a time-consuming and costly process to go through, especially if the event that you are planning is a one-off for a limited number of people – in this situation a Temporary Event Notice may be more suitable.

A Temporary Event Notice (TEN) is not a licence as such as it is not applied for. Rather, the ‘premises user’ (who must be over 18) fills out a standard form Notice and sends it to the Licensing Authority and the chief officer of police to notify them that the event will be taking place. The notice contains such information as who will be the person responsible for the event, when and where it will be taking place and what licensable activities will be provided.

The Volstead act or (Prohibition act) took effect in 1920, in several states across America laws were already in place to try and stop the consumption of alcohol, these laws were in effect before the 18th Amendment (Volstead act, Prohibition act) was passed before congress.

New York was the 1st state to have any such laws passed in the year 1697. This law simply stated that all saloons and drinking establishments must close on a Sunday as a Sunday is revered as a day of rest and prayer and not drinking. Then in 1735, the government introduced its 1st state wide ban on alcohol in the state of Georgia which absolutely failed and only lasted 7 years until 1742.

“Are you an alcoholic, Andy?”

“I don’t know. I don’t think I’m an alcoholic.”

“Do you want to quit drinking?”

Andy thought for a moment, and whispered, “Yes. I want to quit.”

“Then the first thing you have to do is admit you’re an alcoholic. You can’t possibly quit until you do that.”

“I know I drink a lot. But how do I know if I’m an alcoholic? It’s not like I’m on skid row or something.”

“It sounds like you’re in denial, Andy. Nothing will change until you admit you’re an
alcoholic.”
