Utah's drinking problem
The state's trying hard to stop it, in a passive-aggressive sort of way. A Senate committee approved a bill requiring restaurants that serve drinks to make sure the bartender can't be seen by the diners. Plus, in the past the state has tried to criminalize the act of being a drunkard, but that was unconstitutional so it's changing that to criminalize the act of looking like you're a drunkard. (Bonus: The link features another link to the original bill, which looks simple enough, but takes 4,105 lines of text to get it through the Utah code.) KUTV (Salt Lake City)

I know a few people that look drunk all the time, whether they are or not. I'm sure that the Salt Lake City tourism board is loving this.

Is is coincidence that 1984 and UTAH both are only 4 characters long?

I think we can officially rule out Utah as a location for the first ever WU meet and greet.

I thought we had decided on the F state for that?
