Rule 68, or the “5 for 5” rule as it is popularly known, requires that anyone purchasing five or more kegs be registered with the beer distributor. Five days before the purchase, the purchaser must submit a notarized affidavit stipulating that he or she is aware of and will comply with the state’s liquor laws, including those laws prohibiting the furnishing of alcohol to minors and intoxicated persons. By signing the affidavit, the purchaser also consents to law enforcement monitoring of the planned event. The distributor sends a copy of the affidavit to DPS that, in turn, notifies the local police department of the event’s location.
