When the county I live in went from dry to wet. The nearest package store in the next county went bankrupt. First time I ever saw that happen.

Totally agree with your point. The law is the law. If you don't like it where you are, go where you do like the laws. I get so sick of people excusing themselves from the law.
To: Yehuda
In this day and age young people revel in any opportunity to riot. For examples, check out the activity following the most recent Woodstock "revival" or the reaction of University of Maryland fans after they win, or lose, a basketball game.

If someone wants to sell them beer til 4 in the morning whose business is it. Not the govts. The constitution clearly says your right to contract is unlimited. Facist pigs

"Normally there are strict regulations governing the sale of alcohol in Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah state."
When people behave like these "youth" did it's no wonder why Utah has strict regulations.

All I can say is these rules would make it a lot harder to get drunk:
Drink without eating. Except in taverns, or in "private clubs" where temporary guest memberships cost about US$5 for a two-week period.
Order doubles. Limit is one ounce of alcohol per mixed drink, although "secondary alcoholic flavorings" are allowed in exotic mixed drinks.
Have two drinks delivered at once to one individual. Server must set down one drink, then perform some other duty, such as shifting an ashtray, before setting down the other drink.

Meaningless to you!? Don't you know what those rules mean? NO Double Jack and Cokes! In fact last time I went out I had a double double Jack and Coke. Doubles are the only way to go.

You should have invested in a paintball gun. Same effect and you can see "when you made a kill". Though you'd probably hear it first. lol

Does anyone know what time the taverns that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson frequented closed down at night?

My guess is that most of these dopes are locals.

Does anyone know what time the taverns that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson frequented closed down at night? Probably when the booze ran out or the still broke down, whichever came first.

Booze 'n bullets
KEN MACQUEEN in Salt Lake City
Utah is unique for a variety of reasons, among them laws pertaining to alcohol and firearms. Some examples:
Things you can do in Utah with a gun:
State law allows American adults without felony records or convictions for domestic abuse to have a concealed weapons permit.
Utah's 41,000-plus licence holders can carry their loaded, concealed weapons in cars, bars, shopping centres, schools, churches, buses, trains, terminals and most other public places.
Even without that permit, guns that are "capable of being concealed" can be carried at home and at the owner's place of business.
Concealed weapons are banned in secure areas of airports, Olympic venues, federal buildings, jails and mental health facilities, or when the carrier is intoxicated.
A state legal opinion has thrown into question a law that bans guns in state workplaces, home daycare operations, the campus and dormitories at the University of Utah.
Things you can't do with booze:
Drink under the age of 21.
Purchase "heavy beer" (over 3.2 per cent alcohol) in restaurants after midnight, or from corner stores.
Expect your restaurant server to produce a wine list. You must request it.
Drink without eating. Except in taverns, or in "private clubs" where temporary guest memberships cost about US$5 for a two-week period.
Order doubles. Limit is one ounce of alcohol per mixed drink, although "secondary alcoholic flavorings" are allowed in exotic mixed drinks.
Have two drinks delivered at once to one individual. Server must set down one drink, then perform some other duty, such as shifting an ashtray, before setting down the other drink.
Canadians love their booze more than their rights: higher incidence of alcoholism and socialism than the U.S.
Keep 'em drunk while the commissars trample them. It worked in Russia.
