Cook Loses Licence.

by Gregor Whyte | 2:32 pm 11/07/2010


The popular student watering hole The Captain Cook Tavern has had its licence suspended for 24 hours after the Liquor Licensing Board upheld a complaint that it had encouraged excess drinking by selling jugs for $3.50 at a Society of Otago Law Students (SOULS) Quiz night. Clearly having studied law lawyers in his career of enforcing law and order Sergeant Wayne Pitcaithly said the licensee “encouraged excess consumption of alcohol through holding the promotion for a group it knew was susceptible to drinking too much,” the ODT reported. The Cook’s license will be suspended for a 24 hour period, and the suspension must occur on a Wednesday, the same night that the SOULS Quiz event was held.
