THE STATE OF UTAH SHOULD KEEP LAW THE SAME AS WE HAVE NOT. IF PEOPLE WANT TO COME TO UTAH LET THEM UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF UTAH. DO NOT CHANGE THE LIQUOR LAWS FOR OTHER PEOPLE. THE LIQUOR LAWS ARE FINE AS IS IN THIS STATE.

The antiquated laws calling for private club memberships should be rescinded to allow Utah to step into the 21st century. The current laws regarding private clubs have no proven value in the reduction of alcohol-related offenses and only serve as a form of harassment.

More liquor = more deaths, broken families, ruined lives and the list goes on and on.
Alcohol has caused more deaths and tragedies in peoples lives than many serious diseases.
If people don't like the way we do things in Utah, they need to move.

John, soon we will outnumber you. And we will be asking your kind to adapt or move.You have set the example, the harvest for telling people to put up or shut up is yet to be harvested, but it is coming, rest assured.

The sad truth is that the laws in Utah today promote alcoholism. I am new to Orem. I went to 2 grocery stores and a convenience store to buy six bottles of beer. They refused to sell them to me unless I would purchase each six pack individually. In other words they said "you cant buy six beers you have to buy 36 beers". And if liquor is legal then it should be 24 hrs a day. It is wrong to say "my god doesn't let me drink on Sunday so you can't either" this is the same logic used by Adolph Hitler when he killed the jews. "You will follow my god, or die"

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
