Utah tries to outlaw bars, being drunk
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.
Does this mean if I walk down the street crooked and mix drinks behind a eight foot wall I'm a criminal? Thanks Utah!
