This really doesn't matter to me. I don't drink. But it's cool watching the person serve the drinks. The wall is a bit overboard even for someone who doesn't drink. The bar adds an ambiance to the restaurant.

As a drinker, it really doesn't matter much to me. My main concern though.....
As it stands right now, the amount of alcohol in a drink is regulated. As a bartender you follow this rule to a T because you never know when someone from the DABC may be in the building watching you. Put up a wall, you will know that no one is watching.
As for the kids seeing it, and them becoming binge drinkers is a poor parenting issue. By placing all the rules and regulations, it just allows the parents to place blame on someone other than themselves when their kids goes out and gets hammered on a Saturday night and has a hangover at Church the next day.
If this state would educate people on the real world (Drugs, Alcohol, Porn, Sex) instead of trying to hide it, then there wouldn't be so many issues. Any one ever see the movie The Village? If you hide these issues from your kids, it keeps the mystery alive. If you teach them of the dangers and the consequences, the mystery is no longer there. Teach them responsibility. We were all kids once. When our parents told us not to do something, what did we do? We did it!
There was a recent study that came out that shows Utah has one of the highest internet porn subscriptions per capita in the US. We all know already that the Prozac prescriptions are the highest in the nation.

I've been debating about replying, but I can't resist.  Growing up in Southern California, and only being in Utah for little over 3 years now, I guess I look at things a little differently. I am a member for the LDS church, so I don't drink. In a way I understand where the LDS people are coming from, but I really don't agree with the new law. I think it's a little over board. I actually thought the old law was over board. In So Cal I was defiantly in the minority. I'm used to going to restaurants and seeing open bars. I didn't think much about it. Due to my job, from time to time I have to attend c_cktail (sorry the sites filters won't like me type the word) parties where people are drinking all around me, and it doesn't offend me that they do. In fact I think it's funny to watch people when they drink some times. But I wouldn't take my kids there. Instead of putting up the "Iron Curtain", I feel that if that offends someone then they should go to a different restaurant. I don't think forcing one's believes on another is right, just as I wouldn't want someone to try and force a drink on me. I'm sure it's the same people that complain that there is nothing but garbage on the TV. The same rule applies here, if you don't like what's on, then turn it off. That's why my TV hasn't been connected to anything but a VCR or DVD player for the last 18 years (I'm sure that's going to surprise a few people).  |

I do a lot of international travel for business. What I have found from talking with people in various countries is that the countries with weaker drinking laws tend to have fewer binge drinking problems and teenage drinking in general. At least one person previously put it very well. I do drink but did not for many years. I have come to the conclusion that strong rules are for weak people. Are people really so easily persuaded to drink, especially to excess, by the mere sight of alcohol? Add this to the list of reasons why people laugh at Uah (and they really do).
If our elected officials want to do something meaningful then outlaw the use, in any form, of cell phones while driving. Studies show that the safety issues are the same if not worse. And there are a lot more cellphone impaired drivers than alcohol impaired ones in Utah.

Coming from Vegas, I find all the liquor laws here byzantine and ludicrous.
They are just as stupid as I find many people who believe its better to get into a crappy marriage after dating for 3 months just so you can get laid, than to just get laid. Entering into marriage just to have the church's good grace when you screw is far more sinful than just screwing. oh well my .02
