Mayhaps, we were in SC before CC.
When visiting Tennessee a few years back, they forbid carry anywhere alcohol was served. In any percentage. Utah on the other hand, has no problem with carrying in a bar as long as you are not drunk.
Oops... I said that wrong. In Tennessee, one can carry in the place but cannot drink. I wonder if that law has changed since I was there three years ago. I would have sworn I could not carry in BB Kings. That is what old age does for us. I can remember my fifth grade teacher paddling me but have trouble remembering what I ate for dinner last night.

Have you ever try to find a bar in Utah?
LOL... No... But I think I get the point about Utah. I have never visited Utah but would not be surprised to hear there are not many bars. I had to edit the Tennessee part of my post above.

I haven't done a survey, but there are probably more "private clubs" in Utah than "bars".
I once had a three hour layover in Salt Lake City, so I figured I'd go find the bar and have a drink in between flights. After walking around looking for a bar for like 30 minutes I finally asked a security guy where's a bar at? He looked at me and said, "you're in Utah, son" and walked off, like somehow that explains it. Took me a while to figure it out.

Your visit was probably prior to 2002. I was told me that one of the conditions of rewarding the 2002 winter Olympics to Utah was that they would have to allow bars at the Salt Lake City airport and reduce the restrictions in other venues surrounding the game. I can't personally vouch for that, but I had a layover in Salt Lake last summer and I was impressed with the quality of food in the restaurants [both served alcohol].

Yes to alcohol in SLC. The state stores showed up on my GPS and were reasonably priced. Speaking of SLC, Temple Square is maybe the most serene place we've ever visited.

Yeah, that was in the 80's when I wasn't offended when someone called me "son". I didn't know they have them now, maybe I can quit rejecting layovers at SLC now.

We were on a long camping trip west, and when in Utah, my Dad stopped at a liquor store. To buy booze, he had to register/purchase a state license to buy alcohol. Not that he cared, being from Texas, but he figured it was the way the church controlled their members.

That must've been some time back? There were state liquor stores in SLC two years ago when we visited on our way south to The North Rim.
I'm awaiting this to come into effect. I'm in SC for 4 more months and the other day I was strolling around the mall and really wanted some PF Chiangs. I had to go all the way back to the car, lock up the Sig, and hoof it back just to get some delicious lettuce wraps.
Now, I'm hungry again for lettuce wraps.
