Alcohol and Smoking
On Wednesday, October 3, 2007 the New York State Liquor Authority denied the Oneida Nation’s applications to serve alcohol at their golf courses. After delaying a decision for a month, the liquor board told the Oneida Indian Nation it cannot issue permits while unsettled sovereignty issues between the tribe and the state are being litigated in court. "The Liquor Authority said the applications were disapproved without prejudice, and the Nation can reapply for the licenses after the reservation issue is solved."
While their applications were pending before the Liquor Authority, the Resort did not allow any kind of alcohol on the premises as part of their application. Since the Liquor Authority's denial on the applications, the Oneida Indian Nation has lifted the alcohol ban.
Smoking is allowed around the resort although they have recently expanded non-smoking sections in all areas.

Famous quotes containing the words alcohol and/or smoking:
“[T]ea, that uniquely English meal, that unnecessary collation at which no stimulants—neither alcohol nor meat—are served, that comforting repast of which to partake is as good as second childhood.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb’s admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist’s.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
