Hmm, yes. Let's outlaw the sale of alcoholic beverages between the hours of two and six AM. Surely this will solve our uppity drunk minority problem.

All anti-sin laws are gay because even religious people violate them when their impulses get too strong. You want to keep people from sinning you have to take them at birth and raise them in a special facility that will psychologically break them

Man if I could plan ahead I wouldn't really be an alcoholic, yeah?

e: Also, I don't need alcohol. I just want it really really really really badly.

For real, man. It's a really loving pointless gesture that is hurting honest American working men like me. Unrelated, but I lived in Utah for a year or two, and learned that there is a pretty big market for non LDS dentists who won't tell your loving church group that you drink coffee and/or soda.

Farmers Markets are usually ignored with things like these. I've gotten moonshine and hard cider off of the Amish because they sell them directly out of their wagons.

Nice. There aren't any Amish or travellers or whatever in Cali though, at least not in my town.

I think those law are in place because nobody decides to start getting drunk at 4 AM, and the only people that would buy beer that late are going to drive drunk down to the liquor store.

Pros: You can make a lot of money if you play your cards right.

Cons: Your job is staring into Utahn mouths all day

Dunno, man. I'm willing to bet that i'm not the only person in America who ever ran out of beer at 2:30 and didn't want to go to sleep. I mean if you drive drunk that's your choice and you take the associated risks on yourself but I live within walking distance of a 24 hour safeway.

Not too bad of a con. To be honest Utah people seemed pretty healthy and largely had nice teeth. One thing I def. didn't expect is that there is a pretty large and outspoken youth gay community in the SLC area. It's funny, I grew up in the desert in Cali and didn't meet an openly gay person until I was 18 and moved to Utah after graduating HS.

no, bars can serve alcohol till 2. but if you run out of beer at a party it better be before midnight. except no one ever runs out of beer at a party before midnight, because that would be retarded

Take cans of soda out of a 12 pack, fill the soda 12 pack with beer cans. Buy the 12 pack of soda that is now filled with beer.

I am sure that if you slapped a 20 on the counter and walked out with the beer the clerk would have just gone on with their night and not given two fucks.

EDIT: In some chinese restaurants you can order "cold tea" after liquor serving time is over and they will bring you a teapot with heineken in it.

Some cash registers will either not let you do an alcohol transaction after a specific time, or throw up a red flag that only the manager will see in the records. Either way it's a good prospect for getting fired and issued a fine (depending on state).

state fine is $500

local city fine is $10,000

yes, no questions asked fine, pay it or go to jail

I live in the bible belt in a small town and they didn't want to go wet but the vote passed, the city got revenge with stupid rules and they use that fine to shut down privately owned sellers, be it a bar or a package store

they will do 'stings', sending someone in who runs to the check out at 12:01

its pretty amazing that in tyool 2014 we still have such strict restrictions on alcohol. i think after we legalize weed the next most important thing we need to work on in america is legalizing alcohol at all hours of the day

I was in a state that doesn't restrict beer and liquor purchases to state run stores a month or so back in the middle of the night, I happened to see a display of some local beer at the grocery store I stopped at to stretch my legs and grab a few things and figured what the hell, I'll give it a try. Apparently I shopped too long because I got to the register at 2:15 and the register refused the sale since it was after 2AM.
