Alcohol is definitely forbidden by Guru Granth Sahib Ji so I don't feel it is appropriate to have it kept on the same premises as the Guru's bir. Alcohol changes they way you think and may cause behaviours that the person later regrets as it may cause disrespect to our Guru.

If your grandfather was against alcohol and lived with you, would you tell him sorry but I'm going to drink or have others drink anyway? If the answer is no then we should not be going against out Guru's wishes in my opinion.

If people choose to drink at different premises then that is their choice. However, a Gurdwara should not be promoting sales of alcohol on their premises IMHO.
