The answer

I will answer two inquiries: Regarding number: 150356, we clarified that the reason for the permissibility of staying in hotels that serve alcohol is that people's need is for lodging, not for alcohol, and there are few hotels free of it, and its presence usually does not lead to its demand.

As for promoting mixed-gender events, the reason for the prohibition is that it is an invitation to something forbidden or that often leads to it. The participant or observer of mixed-gender interaction falls into the forbidden. If the mixing were secondary and unintended, such as when games are usually not mixed-gender, then promoting it would be permissible.
