>>Utah has a law that requires restaurants to prevent customers from seeing bartenders make/mix/pour alcohol drinks? I realize that every state has a few really old outdated laws - but this one was voted on this week and passed - 24 to 2? Really?

>Yeah, in the mid-80s when I visited Utah regularly, you had to belong to a "private club" to get a mixed drink. Short term memberships were available if you were so inclined. But the skiing was great!

While I am not one of the skiers spending more time at the bar than on the slopes,
one sometimes alcoholic drink during the day is typical for me -
does the "membership" rule apply on the slopes as well ?
Or is it there medicinal/high caloric input/coldness-battling input ?
