From Mark Twain’s Roughing It

“Valley tan (or, at least, one form of valley tan) is a kind of whisky, or first cousin to it; is of Mormon invention and manufactured only in Utah. Tradition says it is made of (imported) fire and brimstone. If I remember rightly no public drinking saloons were allowed in the kingdom by Brigham Young, and no private drinking permitted among the faithful, except they confined themselves to “valley tan.”

“”They have bars in Salt Lake City...?””

That was my first thought. Only been there once for a weekend conference and didn’t see any OR expect any..

Absolutely. Plenty of restaurants have liquor licenses too. Beer at Basketball, baseball and hockey games, etc. There’s not much club life, true. But no one has yet successfully kept humans from getting smashed.
