OUTRAGEOUS!

Remember a few months ago when I told you about Utah's stupid laws concerning the bar industry. Well, the proposed idea I thought was totally ludicrous has now been passed by the Utah Senate. I swear, the text below was taken straight from the AP. (I just had to say that because it seems SO RIDICULOUS) The poor restaurant owners whom undoubtedly are affected by the recession and losing business on the daily, now have to put 10 foot walls up to separate the delicate children from seeing a BAR. Oh my. COME ON PEOPLE! And if that's not ridiculous enough, the end of the article is the really awesome part. Now, it's apparently not LEGAL to LOOK DRUNK either. What if you are just one of those people who look drunk? It's not your fault. Lee and I are totally getting hammered and roaming the streets tonight. I'll blog from jail tomorrow. Puhhh-lease. Utah is stupid sometimes.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A Utah Senate committee has approved a bill that would hide the preparation of alcoholic drinks behind 10-foot-high walls in restaurants and make it illegal to appear drunk.Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, says Senate Bill 187 is intended to eliminate anything resembling a bar in restaurants.His measure also would redefine what it means to be intoxicated in Utah, gutting a Utah Supreme Court ruling that said simply being a drunk is not a crime. Under Valentine's bill, it would be illegal for anyone to look like they are drunk.The bill passed unanimously on Friday. It will now be debated on the Senate floor.
