it is 3.2% by weight. Most beers are listed by volume. 3.2% ABW is about 4.0% ABV, so i think normally brewed light beers are ok.

and also that 3.2% rule is only for certain stores.

i'm no expert, though, dont recall ever buying beer in utah or colorado

3.2 in Utah is correct, nicknamed "near beer". The saving grace is that the alcohol hits you more because of the altitude.

Unless they've changed the laws, wine etc is off limits until after 1pm. It sucked to enjoy a sushi lunch without sake.
