Strange Drinking Laws

No, not just in Utah - a lot of other states, too. Some quick examples:

CT: no off premise alcohol sales after 8pm or on Sundays. This means that if you go to a restaurant, order a bottle of wine, and want to take the unfinished portion home, you can do so provided that you ordered the bottle before 8pm. If afterward, you either leave the unfinished portion or make sure you consume it all (before getting in your car to drive home).

KY: mailing/shipping any quantity of any alcoholic beverage to anyone in the state of Kentucky is a felony with a jail term of 5 years for the *shipper*, not the receiver.

NE: it is illegal for a bar to serve beer unless they are simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup.

TX: It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.

MO: Anyone under the age of 21 who takes out household trash containing even a single empty alcohol beverage container can be charged with illegal possession of alcohol.

DE, specifically Rehoboth Beach: Alcohol may not be served in nightclubs if dancing is occurring on the premises at the same time.
