Reading the article about the new theater's bistro and the need to block the aerial view of cocktail mixing makes me wonder how little control does the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control think we have?

Maybe they only know people who can't walk past a candy store without going in and overindulging.

The people I know have more self-control. When they travel around the world they are able to go where drinks are being prepared without having to have a drink.

How little respect that DABC has for the people of Utah. But, as the DABC is being chosen by a small group of people, how little respect do these people have for the people of Utah.

The state spends millions of dollars trying to lure businesses to the state. Only to have issues like the "Zion Curtain" turn more away than they can lure.

Everyone does not need to drink, if they don't want to. But should the DABC be so fearful that they do so much damage with their stupidity?
