Utah is wrapping up its first year under the nation’s toughest anti-drunk driving law. The state rang in 2019 with .05 as the new blood alcohol level for DUI.

Also, moving heavier beer out of state-run liquor stores into grocery and convenience stores appears to have had no impact on the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s sales. They are practically swimming in cash.
