Utah Alcoholic Beverage Commission Allows Religious Ads
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- In response to a court order, the Utah Alcoholic
Beverage Control Commission is changing the state's alcohol advertising
rules to allow advertising to use religious figures or symbols or a
religious theme to promote alcohol. If finalized as part of new rules to be
adopted by the commission in December, the change will reverse the
commission's ban on religious themes adopted just last Friday. Those rules,
which the commission claims were adopted inadvertently, confused Utah
alcoholic beverage vendors, who have on occasion poked fun at elements of
Mormon culture.
