Mini bottles of alcohol — now only available in Utah in hotel mini-bars and airport duty-free shops — may return to Utah bars and liquor stores, if the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services Commission approves a proposed rule change. The rule was the subject of a public hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2022.
Commissioners are considering a rule change, to bring mini bottles — which hold 1.75 ounces of booze — back to Utah after a three-decade absence. No final decision was made Tuesday; the commission will continue to take public comment through Oct. 17. Duerr added that small portions allow for control of calories and alcohol consumption, and that because minis would only be sold in state liquor stores, youth access would be just as restricted as any other type of alcohol.
DABS executive director Tiffany Clason countered that take, pointing out that it wasn’t a direct quote from Wynn. “I wanted to point out for the public record that it does go over and review the history of mini bottles,” she said, adding that Wynn also also quoted as saying he’d wished mini bottles had stuck around because “people deserve a good drink for the money they pay.”
The world needs to know about trading because it’s among the top investment opportunities earning approximately $48k from a capital of $3k it's really something very important to talk about. I've received bountiful profits from levisdoust_
It's so backwards. If kids want to drink they will find a way, if they want to smoke, they will find a way. Punishing all of us, adults, bc of what a few think is far from fair. Enough! We are parents & grown ups, we will parent our kids accordingly
I really just want to be able to buy wine at the grocery store. Sigh.
what makes sense in the world stops here in Utah. It's a geographical oddity
True. Valid. Additionally, I use liquors in my baking and sometimes cooking. It is SO nice to be able to have an option for smaller quantities as needed for those reasons. Utah NannyState
These bottles are too small, they could be smuggled easily inside a human body cavity and taken anywhere.
Sounds like a reasonable argument, eh? Which means it has zero chance in Utah.
Aren't there enough restrictions on alcohol already? DUIs are down across the state but the UtahABS continues to treat adults like children. Let's start a department of control over sugary dirty sodas and those shitty fucking drive-thru cookies and see how quickly things change.
Isn’t that what bars in the state accomplish?
Pushing booze in a non booze state.
Woah 😱 imagine people being able to buy a cheaper bottle to try something. Can't allow that
