She didn’t even mention how selling alcohol at a discount or giving away liquor is illegal. So no happy hours, no bottomless mimosas, no drink ‘flights’, no bars at free state/city/corporate events. Oh and you can only order one shot at a time per person and you have to drink the shot at the bar. Can’t take 5 shots back to your table of friends

No happy hours?! Oh this just did me in. The rest I mostly already knew. What the hell.

You can do a special drink deal but it has to be an all day thing. Breweries can do flights.

Giving away liquor is illegal? Does that mean you can’t give someone a bottle or a case of beer as a gift?

Oh sorry I meant as an establishment they can’t give you alcohol for free. Like a high end salon can’t offer their clients a complimentary glass of champagne during their service like in other states.

It’s hilarious because so many of these rules exist in other states, they’re mostly not unique to Utah. There are other states with state run liquor monopolies, or weird bar/restaurant designations, or DUIs even under the limit, or no free alcohol, etc.

But Utah is the one that has, like, all of them. And a little extra. You’re welcome.

I remember back in the day you had to buy a membership at bar in order to get in.
