In Politics…You are what you Eat.

Or Drink…

In 1990…the Beer and Alcohol Industry donated only $2200 to only 1 Utah Politician..

In the Year 2000

About $77,000 was donated by Beer and Alcohol companies to Utah Politicians.

3.28% of all money received by Committee for a Democrat Majority

7.56% of all money received by UTAH HOUSE REPUBLICAN ELECTIONS CMTE

Over 10.1% of all money given to the Republican (State) Senate Committee

If the Blood Alcohol Limit is 0.08% in Utah
