because the state of utah controls all alcohol sales of anything above 4.0 by volume and they only sell it at state run liquor stores. thus, they have a monopoly. beers that are sold for about $1.25 each at the liquor store in colorado typically sell for about $2.00 here in utah.

an oil can of fosters costs $2.95, here.

Does the state have a specific use for the money they make from liquor?

WOW!
That must be an old law.
I cant see any government getting the votes with that idea.
In Australia, that idea would meet strong resistance from the drunk mass.

you have to keep in mind that utah is mormon country, make no mistake. they have yet to legalize adulthood in this state. any kind of alcohol statute modernization is met with STIFF resistance. governor huntsman made some good changes, common sense stuff, and as soon as he galloped off to wash obama's.... er.... as soon as he went to be 'ambassador' to china, his replacement, herbert, overturned EVERYTHING with a complicit legislature.

The beer is from some brewery in state and actually tastes really good. Think very hoppy ipa. She knows where she standard and I know where I stand, I see this working out very well with minimal real effort and her parents already like me.
