Liquor commissioner wants booze out of view
Coray says a glass wall isn't enough to ensure diners aren't offended

Liquor control commissioner Bobbie Coray asked her colleagues on Wednesday to consider a rule to cover up bottles of booze displayed at restaurants because some diners may be offended at the sight of alcohol.

A glass partition between bartenders and customers required under current regulations may not be enough, Coray told her fellow liquor control commissioners at their monthly meeting.

Coray, a lone holdout opposing liquor licenses for strip bars, now wants the commission to place more restrictions on glass partitions in restaurants. She called the partitions "a Zion curtain," imposed to satisfy Mormons whose faith eschews alcohol.

HAD to be SLC, it just HAD to be.

Honest question: Why don't they just make the state dry?

It's a known fact that you can "catch the drunk" by just looking at alcohol. Better safe than sorry.

Honest answer: too much state revenue to be had in liquor sales.

I heard about this yesterday and just rolled my eyes. The sad thing is, it doesn't surprise me anymore. I could go on all day about the Utah DABC, but it won't do anything but irritate me.

LOL.  They'll probably make Hoppers put up a 25' privacy fence around the corner of 9th and Ft. Union.

Got it.

How weak is it to be 'Offended' by the mere sight of alcohol?

Quite honestly, the vast majority of LDS members would agree that such a policy is ridiculous or, at the very least, not worth worrying about.  It's a small minority of complete whackos coming up with this stuff.
