      I just moved to Utah back in October of last year. Tech has absolutely exploded here. Aside from housing costs in and around SLC, the cost of living has stayed relatively low too.

      I keep hearing nice things about this Utah place...

              Only strange law in GA that I'm aware of is that a beer joint can't be closer than 100 yards to a church property or something like that (but that may just be a city ordinance)...

                @dafyre 3 tiered distribution (dirty from top to bottom, lots of folks taking a slice on the way), the fact that a regular store can't apply for a liquor license, 12:30pm before you can buy on Sundays (screw you, Saturday night 3rd shift workers), plus tons of stupid local ordinance stuff that's even stricter. Not to mention the ridiculous restrictions on brewery and distillery tours, and the fact that those places can't sell you their product directly (state liquor board has to get a piece, dirty crooked bastards). It's no surprise that GA is always ranked 47th or worse out of 50 in almost every conceivable category.

                        @BRRABill Yes, they do. However, I make my own beer and I got a significant enough raise I don't care. And you can still buy all the booze, you just have to drive to a State run store to do so (they are everywhere).

                        And Colorado is just right over there if you're a heathen.

                          This is the case in NY as well... or at least it was until recently.

                            PA is the same with the state stores, but it's changing now. Some grocery stores like Giant Eagle have alcohol and gas stations like Sheetz have it too.

                              Illinois has plenty of f***ed up problems, but buying alcohol is not one of them. screw all you people I guess I will stay here.

                                Here in Texas, I'm in a dry city. Have to drive to the next city to get liquor.

                                  Couple towns over from my hometown is a dry town too. So they built the Bowling alley outside city limits.

                                      It funny that they are making it even easier to access one of the biggest (and worst socially accepted) drugs. Honestly, what good does it actually do?

                                        A town near an Indian reservation refused to renew the liquor licenses of the 3 local shops because of the alcohol problem the Indian reservation has. Now they have to drive another 10 miles to get their booze.
