It's the same in Texas and other southern states. It's almost always left to the discretion of the city/county. That type of approach is so much more progressive than here in Utah because it does allow for progress ... while also preserving the uniqueness of other counties - like I would not expect Utah County, or Provo, to liberalize its liquor laws. But Salt Lake City, the largest city in the state, is beholden to the exact same liquor laws of a small town in Millard County.

You have a good idea. Maybe some discussion with your legislator and county commisioners would be good. I can understand SL, Summit, Davis and Weber being allowed to be more liberal with their alcohol regulations than small out of the way counties to allow for tourist and conventioneers. Because government bureaucracies fight change, maybe a splitting the regulating between states and counties?
