I voted for the second option because although I don't think shooting and alcohol mix well, one of the very positive attribute of archery is its social side and I would be loath to tell clubs that they couldn't serve a sherry or mulled wine at one of their traditional events. In this scenario the availability of alcohol, and the quantity consumed, is under the control of the club officials. But bringing alcohol to an event, or arriving at a shoot less than sober has to be a definite no-no.

I would normally be cautious about laying further responsibilities on TOs' but it should definitely be part of his/her remit to ensure that those proposing to shoot are in a fit state to do so. Indeed this is already the case; that is why GNAS cards are checked, to ensure that the archer is covered by the GNAS insurance. If they allowed someone to drink alcohol, or to shoot whilst appearing to be under the influence of alcohol, I have little doubt that their insurance would be worthless in the event of an accident occurring and any subsequent claims would therefore be directed at the club and, very possibly, at individual officials too - starting with the TO and the judges.

The problem thus resolves itself into writing a rule using a form of words that will effectively differentiate between the two scenarios.
