Back when you had to buy a membership to a bar to drink there, you could get one for $5. It was essentially a glorified entry fee. Even though they'd give you a membership card, they weren't lamenated or anything so they'd get lost or damaged all the time, so people would have to repeatedly buy new memberships. Also, it's worth noting that since this episode aired Utah made it legal to buy canned or bottled beer up to 5% abv in stores, so you can finally buy real Bud heavy now.
We now have 5% alcohol from the tap and gas stations, no more 3.2% however the trade off was that they lowered DUI driving from .08% BAC to .05% BAC. Proof the state legislators don't want you to drink. You have to buy your liquor, wine, and higher than 5% ABV beers from a state liquor store, many of which close at 7 pm. I've lived here since the end of 2013, so I missed out on the drinking club membership, however I don't go to the bars here very often because it costs so much to get a buzz because of the 1.5 oz liquor shots and mixed drinks. Fun fact, I have never eaten Jello in Utah after almost 10 years of living here. Had no clue it was the state snack. Mormons love their sugar though, that's why we have cookie delivery places. Mormons won't drink or do drugs, and many won't drink coffee either, but if a doctor prescribes a medication, they are all for that, so we have very high prescription drug use "pain management" here. Also have a lot of suicides. One of my best friends and my girlfriend have taken their lives since I've lived here. This place is weird for me because I'm not a Mormon. On Sunday all my neighbors walk to church, and I sleep in. They all know each other but I've only met my neighbor to the right of my house.
When I moved to Utah from Vegas, I kept feeling like something was missing. Then one day it hit me, tink tink tink from the slot machines in every single grocery store.

Thank you for your dedication, and for making the ultimate sacrifice of trying all the drinks.

where did the sound go towards the end?
High West is a fantastic label. It was great to see they visited!
10:40 dude can't handle hir liquor 😂
Used to love this show…good old days of cable tv in HD
The guy from High West was super cool.
I would never drink beer that has an alcohol content of 3.2% ABV. I would rather drink Coca Cola at least I get a high from caffeine.
