Where are they getting the money? From taxpayers... You already paid once for the booze, best to go drink it up. Additionally most of these galas are PR affairs, so that people can go booze it up and leave feeling better about "Soybean Growers of America", etc. It doesn't violate any free market principle to get something someone is giving away... If companies/gov't agencies are that concerned maybe they should give invitations? Don,

A group of people claiming to be conservatives and libertarians... providing a list of parties to go to uninvited and score free drinks? So much for not believing in unfairly benefiting from the labor of others, I guess. How completely random.
