Fun Fact:
Wachusett brewery in Mass. was founded and is run by a group of WPI engineering alumni.

My personal feeling is that alcohol should not be a sponsor of FIRST. It is not in the spirit of the competition. We here in CT have the ability to solicit many alcohol importers like Hueblien, (pronounced hugh-bline) that are based here. I feel that getting sponsorship from them is not right because you are not accurately saying the type of advertising you will provide. Distributors are a grey area because many alcohol distributors also sell candy, and tobacco. The easy way around this is just don't solicit them. They may have money, but the real question is do you feel right about taking it?
