"(h) The board may prohibit tasting at a pilot project location

impact area if tasting at the location is having an adverse effect on
the reduction of chronic public inebriation in the area.

persons to ensure that "apparently" intoxicated, rather than
"obviously" intoxicated, persons cannot possess or consume alcohol.
