hey i'm thinkin of goin to university of utah next year but what's the deal with the shitty utah beer? I heard like all the shit you can get is 3% and theres only a few places in slc to get real beer..is this true?
 
there's plenty of places to get BEER, beer is in every gas station and store, its the liquor and alcohol (rum, whiskey, tequilla, vodka, etc.) that you can only get in state liquor stores, but there's probably gonna be one within 10 mintues of wherever you live...
 
ya if you want higher percent beer you need to get it from out of state or priced up that ass at the liqour store.

anything from gas stations grocery stores yadda yadda yadda is going to be 3.2% alcohol which some people debate isnt even that much less and gets you as drunk, i will add my two cents by saying i drink way more utah beer and tend to piss about 3 to 4 times more.
 
yeah i'm not going to lie, the beer here is very watered down tasting, but it will do and once your here for a month you are used to it. plus slc is at 4000 ft so that helps a bit... but you get used to that as well.

but doin't worry slc is chill as fuck, and anybody who doesn't move here "cause they heard the beer is only 3%" isn't thinking straight.
 
^^^ yeh

theres only 1/12 of a shot less in each beer. so you drink 13 utah its 12 normal. and its 3.2% by wieght where as its 5% by volume so its really not much different

 
You don't come to SLC to drink beer. You come to ski. As gay as that sounds, if you're worried about drinking go to Boulder or UNR or something.

 
CO has the same deal you have to go to the liquor store to get real beer (they are just haters and need to talk trash cause their snow sucks). but light beer is like 4% anyway and converted differently. so unless your drinking stouts and fine ales i wouldn't sweat it.
 
true utah beer is 4% by volume and other beer is 5% by volume, except that 5% is the AVERAGE (somehow)...i know most beer out of state that i drink is atleast 7 or 8%...i know there's a pussy ass summer seasonal that fat tire makes which is 5%.

^oh yeah one more thing, if you're not fat and not a girl, then you shouldnt be drinking light beer folks!
 
who gives a fuck.... just drink the shit and be over it..... you will still get drunk.... its all bullshit... stop the insanity.... i am sick of hearing this bullshit.
 
I was having the same worries before I moved out here. Let me tell ya from someone who drank alot before coming out here, drank alot alot out here, and visit home every so often and drink there again. ITS ALL THE SAME. Anyone who says they can taste a difference is bullshittin themselves. If you want to taste a difference, youll convince yourself that you do(I guess). Its 4% here and 5.4% back home(on average). The big problem here is that its capped off at 4%. You cant buy legit 40's from a gas station, or any other stronger beer. And yes, at the state liquor stores theres higher percentage beer, but not any of the cheap beers(so im told). Its all good, expensive beer, thats not any good for parties.
 
Domestic beers are all around 5 percent, and frankly i will drink keystone light, pbr, bud light or miller lite all of my college life and i won't give a shit. It's cheap, it goes down easy, and it gets you drunk, period.
 
honestly if you want to enjoy your drink get some good beer, a little more alchy content. But if all you want to do is get really drunk your not going to want to buy nice beer anyways. Just get some harder liq and call it good.
 
trust me unless your drinking some shitty light beer you can taste the difference. it depends on the beer some is still fine to drink but others are terrible. if all you drink are keystone light then you wont have a problem
 
"Beers in supermarkets in Utah is weak. Three points instead of the normal six points of alcohol.It's the religious influence, and it's a pain in the ass. To me, it makes no sense. If you've got alcohol, you've got alcohol. So why three instead of six? You know a drunk's just gonna drink twice as many beers to get drunk. So not only do you have a drunk on your hands...but you got a drunk who's fat and gross. There's nothing worse. So if you want real beer, you have two choices:

A, the state-run liquor store. You see, you can buy regular beer here. There are all of three stores in Salt Lake City to buy it. And their hours suck. Oppression. Also, these were the only places to buy any alcohol outside of private clubs.Who can afford those, except for guys like my dad? You could get whiskey, gin, wine. Here's where they kept it. And here's the worst part. See, this teller is not just a teller. He's a cop. This guy right there, he's a fucking cop. So we buy a beer, and this guy's callin' a squad car to follow us home. 'Cause one look at us, and he knows, "Gosh, those guys are gonna be trouble." Now, Bob and I may not be innocent...but we are usually pretty law-abiding, usually. On this occasion, we had done absolutely nothing wrong. We looked suspicious, yes,

but in all the years of pre-law...I uncovered a lot of contradictions in the system...but I had found nothing that told me looking suspicious...was a crime in and of itself. But this was not about the law. This was about rednecks. So the battle continued. Who's to blame 'em? The cops were rednecks, our mortal enemies...worse than mods, rockers or posers. So we took our beatings when we could. But in this complex world of fascism that was Utah state policy...we had only one choice if we wanted real beer.

Choice B, Wyoming. The state line was one hour and one half...a short ride to Evanston, Wyoming...where you could get booze like a free man...like boozers used to go to Canada for the poison during Prohibition."

You should watch that movie sometime. Or just move to Utah, ski pow, and forget about it like offtrail suggested.
 
Search bar'd this ish...

Yeah I'm havin the same dilemma. However I figured it balances out and from my experience gettin loaded comes with the territory of skiing. haha. well at least that's my experience.

Either way, how much you can put back should not be a deterent on choosing a mountain. I'll be out in SLC next fall through Spring.
 
All the above posts are lies, utah is still in prohibition!!!! No liquor, beer or wine at all!!!!!!!! Mormons make them shut down the ski resorts on sundays because there is no fun on the holy day!!!!!!! Sometimes they even make gentiles go to their boring ass chruch!!!!!!! Utah sucks!!! At the University of Utah you are required to take mormon semimary classes!!!!!!! The 'greatest snow on earth' thing is a myth, the skiing here sucks!!!!!! Don't come here it is awful, i live in a cave to escape the mormons but I fear they will find me soon, it is terrible!!!! send help, please!!!! Tell george bush maybe he'll save us
 
well shoot. I was totally believing your statement was true and wasn't going to come to utah until you said george bush would save us. Dear 8 pounds 6 ounces baby Jesus, new born, not even spoken a word yet.......
