Well, you might be less bored if you did something other than sitting in the guest house with your mom.

what do you do when you are at your normal house......
boredom is your own fault unless you are in prison, even then its your fault for being there.

The quickest way to deal with Utah:

1. Go to Walmart
2. Buy a gun
3. Put in mouth
4. Pull trigger

you'll get one a lot cheaper if you go to a pawn shop, plus there may not be that pesky waiting period.  go south on state street until you can look out the window and feel like you need to take a shower.  that is the best part of town to get a cheap piece.

So you kind of planned for boredom then, huh?  I don't know, go over to the Pie and eat a pizza, it's like 2 feet away.  There's also a good art museum on campus if you're into that.  As for swimming, there's the Steiner aquatic center like 3 blocks away - they have an outdoor pool with lanes and stuff and a diving board inside.  And there's a pool down in Cottonwood Heights that has a bunch of diving boards and platforms which can be kinda fun.  Sweet cliff jumping spots up at Echo Lake, but that's a bit far.

it's not the amount i leave to my estate i would be worried about, what if you just dont have enough money for a gun AND bullets at an actual store?  then you would be stuck in utah with your mom doing nothing with a gun and no bullets.

well if your not a pussy and drink like a champ you can get hammered off 3.2........it just takes about 7 more than usual. Or you could just get 40s of old E or somethin, or just straightup liquor.

Spoken like somebody who has no idea what they're talking about.  First of all, Utah beer is 3.2 ABW, which is about 4.0 ABV.  "Normal" out-of-state beer is usually about 4.5 - 5.0 ABV.  That means that 13 "Utah beers" are equivalent to about 12 out-of-state.  Also, that assumes you're buying cheap shit at a gas station or something, instead of getting quality beer at a liquor store.  An liquor in Utah is as strong as it is anywhere else.

But whatever, if that extra 0.5% ABV in your Keystone helps you compensate for getting half as much snow as we do, more power to you.  I know if I had to live somewhere that only got 300" a year, I'd be drowning my sorrows too.

beer in utah is measured by weight, where as in most other states it is measured by volume.  a beer with 3.2% ABW (alcohol by weight) has the exact same amount of alcohol as a beer with 4% ABV (alcohol by volume).

for comparison sake, take miller lite, one of the most popular beers in the country.  a miller lite you can buy at the grocery store in wisconsin (a state that is considered one of the least restrictive about beer and liquor laws and the home of miller) has an alcohol content of 4.2% ABV. compare that to a utah miller lite at a grocery store, which again is equal to 4% ABV, and you can easily see that anyone that pretends they can feel the difference is a poser and probably just talking about it to impress people. 

there is no concievable way you could tell a .2% difference in alcohol content per beer if you were given the "miller light challenge", especially as the more you drink the less your abilities you have to discern between the two become foggy.

for this discussion to be valid, you have to compare apples to apples, or in this case, miller lite at the grocery store to miller lite at a grocery store.  for beer with higher content you can always go to the liquor store, where you can get beer of any alcohol percentage.  the only difference between utah and wisconsin is the ease of access to beer with higher content, and if you are 21, it is just a matter of an extra stop on your way home from the grocery store.

I lived in CO which too had 3.2 beer at the gas stations/grocery stores. The difference is still usually >25% alcohol difference even when ABW is factored in. So, 12 regular, non-mormon/christian beers are equal to at least 15 regular beers. Far less if you are drinking IPA or something higher volume.

Stop trying to rationalize the shittiness of your fucked up state controlled 3.2 beer. Now that I am back at home I can walk into the grocery store, buy regular beer, liquor, lube and bandaids all in one trip.

obviously you think you know a bit more about this subject than you really do.

if you took the time to read my previous post, you would understand that in your haste to rip on utah and mormons and christians (what no jew bashing? what's the ABV of manashevitz wine?), you aren't really understanding the issue. 12 standard miller lites (ABV) equates to 13.66666 3.2 ABW beers, and because that equivlient of 1.6 beers extra is broken up over 12 actual cans, anybody who has just one beer will not even feel a difference, and most people will be smashed by a 12er anyway.

your body process that much as fast as you can drink a 12er, unless you are super tough, and you seriously can't feel a difference.

you can get ipa in utah. you can get lots of beer above 3.2 ABW.  a local brewery even makes a beer called "the devastator" which is 8% ABV, or twice as much alcohol as a miller lite in any non-low point beer state.  you just can't get them at the grocery stores, you have to go to a liquor store, and stock up on your anal rape supplies on the way home i guess.

Who the fuck buys miller light? I don't drink light beers, so their 3.2 equivalence doesn't matter to me. And jews drink schlitz, seriously they do.

Then why does it matter that Utah grocery store/gas station/ etc. beer is limited to 4.0 ABV?  You can just go buy regular beer at a restaurant or a liquor store (or Hill, my personal preference).  Face it, there are places with much worse alcohol laws than Utah.  And there is no place that has no snow like Utah.

schlitz is delicious, and i'm not jewish, i just grew up in wisconsin.  it's "the beer that made milwaukee famous".  there wouldnt be a milwaukee as we know it without schlitz.

and i wasn't saying that you have to drink miller lite, it was just a familiar beer to use for the explination.

what i'm trying to say is that you can't compare something like IPA to miller lite (or coors light or whatever) at the grocery store in utah, because you can get beer higher than 3.2
