I get paid a lot to live here, also the mountains are nice to look at and it's entertaining to watch polygamist families try to act normal. The sad part is I left Grand Rapids, MI which is considered Beer City USA. At least my liver is in slightly better shape.
Do you have any laws regarding carrying alcohol within an establishment (not to be confused with open container laws), say, from the bar to the table? That seems like something you'd have.
Oh, it's stranger than that. If a place is a restaurant, meaning it has a sign on the window that reads "This establishment is licensed as a restaurant, not a bar", then you actually have to order food in order to get an alcoholic drink. If you order a mixed drink, it's prepared behind the Zion curtain because obviously kids can't see 1.5oz of rum being poured into a Coke.
Draft beer can't be over 5% and only 5% and lower ABV beer can be sold in the grocery store. Anything higher is sold at the state liquor with nearly a 100% markup on it over their cost. It also can't be sold cold either, so if you want cold beer it has to be 5% or less and bought at a grocery store. This only went into place last fall and was heavily debated. Originally the bill was to allow 8% beer in the grocery store but the LDS Church had a full-blown fit and told the House and Sente to vote that down because obviously Utah is a theocracy. We do have craft root beer stores here though that have hundred of varieties and the ability to make your own six-pack, so we got that going for us I guess.
If you bring alcohol over state lines, it's a fine and it's all confiscated. If you bring a keg over state lines you're going to jail. As a fun fact, when I moved here and brought my bar with me I'd been thrown in jail for the amount of alcohol I had. Bringing alcohol through the airport is also illegal, but since it's the TSA, they really don't care.
Oh and our drunk driving laws are the strictest in the nations at .05. That means for an average weight person, it's almost certainly illegal to drive after two Utah beers even if you're completely fine. I don't even chance it and just drink at home. I mean I get not driving under the influence, but I'm in no way remotely impaired after two beers.
All of this is more or less ignored in Park City though because rich people don't want to be bothered. During Sundance, it's really ignored because we can't deny celebrities anything and apparently during the Olympics, the liquor flowed freely everywhere.
It's really bizarre to me how difficult liquor laws are in various states. I mean we border Nevada and Colorado, two states were marijuana is legal, you can buy alcohol literally anywhere, and you can gamble to your heart's content. It feels like Utah is missing out on a bunch of tax dollars because of it.

I can't believe President Trump just tweeted this.
