Whenever a hotel or multi-use establishment which holds a valid retailer’s license operates on its premises more than one establishment at which drinks of alcoholic liquor are sold at retail, the hotel or multi-use establishment shall maintain at each such establishment a separate schedule of the prices charged for such drinks at the establishment:
(1) Sell, offer to sell, or serve to any person an unlimited number of drinks of alcoholic liquor during any set period of time for a fixed price, except at private functions not open to the general public;
(2) Sell, offer to sell, or serve any drink of alcoholic liquor to any person on any one date at a reduced price other than that charged other purchasers of drinks on that day where such reduced price is a promotion to encourage consumption of alcoholic liquor, except as authorized in division (A)(4) below;
(3) Increase the volume of alcoholic liquor contained in a drink, or the size of a drink of alcoholic liquor without increasing proportionately the price regularly charged for the drink on that day;
(4) Encourage or permit, on the licensed premises, any game or contest which involves drinking alcoholic liquor or the awarding of drinks of alcoholic liquor as prizes for such game or contest on the licensed premises;
(5) Advertise or promote in any way, whether on or off the licensed premises, any of the practices prohibited under this division (A)(5) and divisions (A)(1) through (A)(4) above; or
(6) Increasing prices of drinks of alcoholic liquor in lieu of, in whole, or in part, a cover charge to offset the cost of special entertainment not regularly scheduled.
(B) Nothing in division (A) above shall be construed to prohibit a licensee from:
(1) Offering free food or entertainment at any time;
(2) Including drinks or alcoholic liquor as part of a meal package;
(3) Including drinks of alcoholic liquor as part of a hotel package;
(4) Negotiating drinks of alcoholic liquor as part of a contract between a hotel or multi-use establishment and another group for the holding of any function, meeting, convention, or trade show; or
