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.

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.

Keep 'em drunk while the commissars trample them. It worked in Russia.
