July 1st, 2009 in Utah
Finally! New liquor laws go into effect today.
Until today, bars in Utah were required by law to charge membership fees. They actually weren't bars, more so than "private clubs".
The way it usually worked is you would pay a cover fee of $5 - $10, and you could get a group of people ( 5 or so..) in under your membership..
Now? They have to scan your ID which will for some reason be stored in a "drinkers database" for a short period of time. Don't ask me why it's stored, it probably has to do with a lot of stupid bullshit..
Anyways! Now a man walks into a bar in Utah, he can finally get a drink without paying fees and spending time filling out an application.
One small step towards legalizing adulthood in Utah. The previous law disgruntled tourists for years.. Now all we need is normal alcohol percentage in our beers and we'll be closer to the rest of the nation..
Take THAT, LDS/Republican Politicians. Plus one point for the minority here.
