According to <a href="http://www.centredaily.com/mld/centredaily/9490703.htm"><strong>this site</strong></a> the AWOL party was over before it even got started Friday night at Trust Lounge.<br />
<br />
Questions from leery state officials as to the legality of inhaling shots in New York bars prompted Kevin Morse, president of Spirit Partners Inc., to err on the side of caution and fill up the machines with Gatorade, so that at least patrons and media could get the general idea of how AWOL works without running the risk of jeopardizing Trust Lounge’s liquor license.<br />
<br />
Even conventional alcoholic drinks were not served during the launch party, for fear state authorities might accuse someone of sneaking a shot into the AWOL when no one was looking.
