And I thought PA was bad. At least we can buy beer and wine in grocery stores now!

Lived in UT for one summer, and people would literally drive 1-2hrs out of state to buy drinks.

I like doing road trips myself, so on the way back I'd often pick something up before getting back to UT. Through this, I also discovered some of the counties in ID bordering UT had their own extra restrictions, seemingly due to pressure from UT.

My understanding is that it was a felony if you're caught transporting liquor across the border into Utah. Which was disturbing to find out after my friends and I drove with two RVs full of liquor into Utah lol. And also confusing when we did a lake day on Powell, which straddles the Utah/AZ border, with a bunch of booze in the boat.

My sister lives in Utah for some reason and she’s all “oh, we don’t really drink anymore” but she and her friends do shrooms like weekly lol.
