UTAH

-- New laws make any daily drink specials illegal, essentially banning happy hour.

Some new state laws

This one in Georgia makes sense:

-- Municipalities with 911 call centers can require retailers selling prepaid cellphones to charge a fee to support the emergency systems.

Drink at home. Problem solved. Cheaper, safer and no one can tell you how you can or cannot do it.

What do we say when the state decides to outlaw any price competition by liquor retailers? Is the answer, 'make your own liquor, cheaper, safer and no one can tell you....'?

First they came for your happy hour specials...... skull

Unless you are in Salt Lake, it is impossible to go out drinking anyway.

I don't plan to be doing any drinking in Utah so it's not my fight, but it seems like a tyranny of the majority.
