A pragmatic approach to alcohol distribution, taking into account the number of deaths caused by alcohol or alcohol related behavior, would be to limit and carefully monitor the availability of this substance that is so often abused. It need not have anything to do with religion.
While many would blame The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints for Utah liquor laws, could it not be simple that we have more people who care, who want to save lives? Could it be that it should be a compliment to the intelligence of a community when they look at the source of tragic deaths, crime, heartache, and seek to do something about that?
You may call the campaign against liquor consumption "religious," but I would call it pragmatic, intelligent, an effort to enhance and improve the quality of life, even life itself, here in the grand state of Utah.
