So what's the situation with homebrewing? Are you limited to buying from internet sources only?
Probably not. I was going to say become a homebrewer.

...uh... I live in AL. We were only beat by our progressive neighbors - MS - as the last state to make homebrew legal. ...but we can get a beer from a bartender we can see.
Another example, medical marijuana. My disclaimer, I've never used any illegal drug in my life and I have been very skeptical of the medical benefits of marijuana. .
I highly doubt this statement. I strongly suspect their "recreational drug use" started with nicotine and/or alcohol. These days it tends to be the various assortment of drugs found in pharmaceutical pills.
I disagree. Illegal marijuana is easier to get than a prescription.
Separation of church and state is absolutely not a myth. Just because something isn't spelled out in the Constitution doesn't mean it's not a right. State established religion will never be constitutional, ihave no idea where you get that concept.
There's a reason the Mormons ended up in Utah. It's a barren wasteland and nobody else cared. Even the local Indians just let them settle there. They can have it.

You know a lot about Utah's alcohol laws, are you getting into the brewery/restaurant business? How easy are liquor license to acquire? Most of those are pretty dumb laws for sure. Too bad you have such a prominent religious presence in your state's political system; that seems to be the driving force. Separation of church and state?
Aside from the obvious flight-of-samplers, or those times when I was hammered in my 20s, I can't ever think of a time when I needed more than two beers in front of me. I guess that means that triangle tests are out
As far as I know, and I may be wrong, it's my understanding that the .08 alcohol limit is just a cutoff from being "innocent until proven..." to "guilty until proven...". Below that number, your are innocent first; above that number and you are guilty first. Since our brains should never be compromised while driving, the lowering to .05 seems like it should help to discourage "buzzed driving" and seems fair from the sense that we don't want to take lives because we HAD to drive after drinking. Quality public transportation is a savior here; I guess Uber/Lyft are also good options.
To me, this somehow feels soooo small and unimportant compared to other happenings taking place across the Divided States of America. It's like going on a boat with two leaks: one the size of a nail, the other the size of a basketball. While plugging both is important to avoid sinking, one should demand primary attention and focus while just ensuring the other doesn't get bigger. I guess that's what you're driving at in regards to contacting senators.
restrictive laws changed despite Baptist pressures to keep us in the middle ages.
You may be buzzed at .08, others are not. I participated in a test where we drank a beer then did reaction tests. I was fine up to .12 Why? Because alcohol doesn't react in my body like it does yours. I was considered safe to drive well past legal limit and it was .24 before they said I was impaired... Highway cops doing the test kept rechecking me on different meters because they didn't believe it. 2 others tested high also. My body processes alcohol into the waste stream very fast, that is why it doesn't affect me unless I hammer down beer fast.
Wow..And you were still able to function at .24?? In my 10 years of law enforcement the highest B.A. percentage I EVER saw was .22 and this man was falling down, etc..We were led to believe that anything approaching .25 and the person would more then likely be comatose..
I will have to remember that if I should ever meet you, to not challenge you to a drinking duel! LOL
Back on topic..Glad to see that Utah is finally making some changes in their alcohol laws!
