The Law
When civil unrest strikes, the state considers alcohol fuel for the fire. Under emergency powers, the governor or local authorities can immediately suspend all sales of liquor to prevent mobs from getting drunk and escalating violence. If the apocalypse comes to Utah, you'll have to face it entirely sober.
