It's like they used peroxide to bleach out their bartenders. Now they have to start all their jokes with, "A rabbi and a priest don't walk into a bar..."

A rabbi and a priest walk into a Mormon Sacrament Meeting and...


They laugh their asses off at the Mormon's version of "Spirit."

Differences of opinion on being intoxicated in the spirit, that's what.

I really like the AOL map of bartenders per 1000 population.

Washington County Utah for example is .4 per 1000. So say Washington County is app 100,000 population, makes for app 40 bartenders county wide.

Actually, didn't see a single bar the entire time of my visit there in January. Wonder where they all are hiding?

In dungeons maybe???

My TBM father used to imbibe as a priesthood holding elder, but he would hide the evidence. Years after us kids were grown, my oldest brother finally spilled the beans on pappy's spirits.

He'd find hidden booze bottles under the haystack, in the crawl space of our farmhouse, a little here a little there.

LOL, I didn't even know dad was a'drinkin during those years.

That was all in keeping with the good Mormon image. (Not!)

I don't care for alcohol to this day. Has nothing to do with religion for me, it's a personal choice because I don't like the effects of drinking, period.

I've seen alcohol do more harm than good to people, sans religion.

It's funny to me that the South is so "white." But part of it is that there are still so many dry counties. But I think the biggest thing is that there are so many beer drinkers. Surely they have way higher than average number of beer drinkers. And if they can't buy beer in their county, it's easy to transport. And you don't need a lot of bartenders to hand you a Bud. It's not like most of them drink artisan beers.
