That reminds me of a very old joke:
Q: Why should you always take two Mormons with you on a fishing trip?
A: If you only bring one, he'll drink all your beer.

Arguably they would have mead instead, which is still brewing.

These are all good fun, but for the record, Uinta Brewing makes some of my favorite beers.

Sorry to be dense but is this an American state thing?
Utah is home to Mormonism. One of the rules in Mormonism is you can’t do drugs so you can’t drink caffeine or alcohol.
But pop is fine (even though it has caffeine in it) and ketamine is fine (because the Book of Mormon which is DLC of the New Testament didn’t mention specifically horse tranquilizers).
You also can’t have sex before marriage because that is a sin but you can do anal sex because god didn’t specify the butt and you can even just do regular sex as long as neither of you move or thrust. Instead you can have a friend jump on the bed and if everyone ends up moving then that’s just gods will.
You also have to wear special long underwear called prayer garments but you have to keep it a secret and deny its existence to any none Mormon who asks but at the same time you have to keep giving hints to other mormons that you are wearing them so that they know you are the real deal.
Is soda pop fine now? In the early 00 I knew a family that was Mormon and they absolutely never drank soda and made sure we knew we were little heathen children for drinking it.
They then moved to Utah to get away from us NJ heathens lmfao
I think this isn't true anymore, except in a very gross sense. Like, every restaurant in Deer Valley and Park City sells wine and/or beer. I'm pretty sure we got drinks at restaurants in Salt Lake City, too. It could, conceivably, be that only non-residents can be served alcohol, but I think I heard that wasn't the case. You're just not supposed to drink if you're Mormon, and the laws are not strict about production, sales, and consumption. Maybe you can't drink at home?
I don't know. I just ski there, but alcohol is easily, legally, available everywhere I've been in Utah.
It's Utah but I don't quite get the crafting part.
Maybe something to do with the survivalist prepping part of the religion?
There is a strong push to have supplies ready and being prepared to handle disaster scenarios which often involves needing to make things ad hoc like shelter, fire, etc.
It's a joke that women in Utah are obsessed with crafting.. and it's true
Utah, Mormons.
