Looking for 800 Hotline vendors

Q: We are looking for vendors for 800 hotline / whistleblowing numbers. Do you have any recommendations as well as companies to stear away from?
A: Ethics Point (www.ethicspoint.com) and The Network (www.tnwinc.com) were recommended.

Alcohol on-site at company events

Nine of you responded to my question regarding serving alcohol at company events.
Two of the nine said no alcohol is allowed on company premises. Alcohol is served at the holiday party, but drink tickets are usually used to control the quantity. I didn't find out if employees can purchase alcoholic beverages, but I assume they can.
The rest of you said that you have alcohol (usually wine and beer) at special on-site events (occasional Happy Hour, All Employees' Meetings, etc.) You had strict controls including 1-2 drink tickets per employee, small quantity available, and short time period 1-2 hours. One company reminds employees that this is a privilege and if it is abused, it will be stopped.
Thanks for all of your responses.
