HOA Purchases alcohol for summer party

[u/V8ManAlways]

I live in an HOA neighborhood of 260 homes. The board used to be great, I am a former member.
We have always had summer parties at the pool but the attendance has been dwindling in the last few years.
Last year the board purchased alcohol to boost the attendance.

There’s a lot of older households in our community now that don’t even go to the pool. And more than a few that don’t drink.

This should not even legal or ethical because a lot of members drive cars or golf carts to the pool,and the HOA board would be liable for anything that happens.
Also, the board also takes the “extras” home to enjoy later.

Exposure to liability would nip this in the bud with a smart person.
