Utah bans sale of Some Alcoholic Drinks

What happened to separation of church and state? Apparently in Utah, church is making a comeback.
On Wednesday, Utah will be the only state to ban the sale of fruity alcoholic drinks at grocery stores and convenience stores in an effort to keep them from minors. Those drinks also must have new state-approved labels on the front of the product that contain capitalized letters in bold type telling consumers the drinks contain alcohol and at what percentage. …
Some manufacturers have already decided it’s not worth it to produce new labels just for Utah. “Thanks to the Legislature, Smirnoff Ice is no longer available in Utah,” said Zsoka McDonald, spokeswoman for Diageo, one of the world’s largest multinational beer, wine and spirits firms. “It’s just not cost effective.”
Keep in mind; this is only ‘fruity’ drinks. Bud light will still be on the shelf? Does any of this make sense?
