Walked into a sweet bar in downtown SLC 18 months ago without scanning just to get in but they did ask for my ID at the bar.
The law just changed.

I saw that. Not shocked.

Do they still cap ABV in beer? Bud heavy 3.2% or similar?
In bars, restaurants, and normal stores with alcohol, it's like 4 or 5%. You can get higher ABV beer but you have to go to a state run liquor store.

The alcohol laws in Utah are far different than we are used to for sure. They have to run your ID through a scanner to verify you just to get into the bar. Every mixed drink is controlled by a device they put onto the bottle to measure an exact ounce. Data from the device is uploaded to their alcohol governing body. You also cannot order more than one single drink at a time. You cannot order a beer and a shot for example at the same time. You order the shot, finish it, and then you can order the beer. The same goes for ordering multiple drinks even if it's for someone with you. They have to be at the bar with you and/or order their own drink.
And for this reason(s) I'm out

You shouldn't. Utah is really awesome and just as naturally beautiful as Colorado despite the arcane liquor laws.

I don’t agree with this at all. Consuming alcohol wasn’t the crime. Driving under the influence was. That distinction matters.
Taking someone’s driver’s license is fine because driving is a privilege. Restricting the purchase of alcohol is different. Adults don’t need a license to buy it, and banning lawful commerce starts drifting from punishment into preemptive behavior control.
This is much easier to justify as a condition of probation or parole. Judges can restrict otherwise legal conduct while someone is still serving a sentence. Once that period ends, stamping a “no alcohol sales” marker onto an ID looks like a restriction on rights. It creates a subclass of adults barred from legal commerce based on past offenses.
That’s legally awkward and philosophically sloppy and once the state starts restricting lawful behavior because someone might reoffend, it shifts the system from punishing crimes to managing people which is antithetical to limited governance.

This is called a “metered pour” my friend.
Mixes drinks suck arse here.

quote:That framing is backwards under how rights work in the U.S. system. Adults don’t have a “privilege” to buy alcohol in the way they have a privilege to drive. Driving is licensed. Alcohol consumption isn’t. The default is that the government needs a reason to stop you, not that you need permission to participate.
This is actually not a bad idea at all…abuse alcohol you lose your privilege to buy alcohol.
Most everyday freedoms here are negative rights. They’re defined by what the government can’t prohibit absent a new offense or ongoing sentence. DUI is a crime. Drinking alcohol is not. Taking someone’s driver’s license makes sense because driving only exists as a state-granted privilege. Restricting access to lawful commerce after the sentence ends is a different animal.

We have a cousin in Ohio who is a drunk and has lost his license. I hope this idea spreads because it might keep him off the roads. Common sense doesn't work with him.

Do places look at your ID if you are 40?

On January 1, 2026, a new law will go into effect that will restrict people who have an extreme DUI conviction from buying alcohol. The law will also require all people — regardless of age or appearance — to show their IDs when purchasing alcohol.

Ah, well that explains it

I can hardly find anywhere to sell booze anyway when i'm in Provo.

State liquor store on Freedom.
Next Door as part of Block Restaurant is best place to drink in Provo.

That is what is happening. They are banned from buying "for a period of time" (guess that depends on the judge)... Not forever.
Also, not sure if anyone actually read it, this is for "extreme dui" of .16 or higher. Which if you are doing that here you are a retard. The legal limit is .05, and the penalties are harsh enough for that.
