Utah's oppressive statists relaxing liquor laws to entice and sponge off tourists

Utah's liquor laws are set to relax July 1, bringing them more in line with those of the rest of the nation, but don't expect Salt Lake City to morph into Sin City any time soon.

However, in exchange for the move, the state Legislature tightened DUI laws and required bars to scan the driver's licenses of anyone who appears younger than 35.

What concerns some officials is that the state did nothing to loosen its grip on the number of liquor licenses that can be issued.

Utah links the number of liquor licenses for bars and restaurants to the state's population. The state currently can award a total of 361 licenses for bars and 546 for restaurants that serve beer, wine and liquor.

As of this week, there were 14 applicants for eight remaining licenses available for bars, also known as clubs, said Sharon Mackay, spokeswoman for the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
