The samples provided are for tasting purposes only and will be limited to a total of no more than two standard servings of beverage alcohol. Students are not required to swallow samples and may swirl, evaluate and spit in the cups provided for this purpose. All unconsumed samples are to be disposed of as directed and not shared with other students.
