(But I'm left to wonder...surely there was somewhere in Provo you could have found some hooch....well maybe NOT Provo, but perhaps Lehi or even American Fork?)
Unless it was election day (when you can't buy beer in Utah County) I think it is more of not wanting some self righteous student to recognize you and report you to the Honor Code Office. Much safer if you drive 40 miles, I would imagine.
We have a winner! No more calls, please!
