Total control of inventory and distribution. Not sure if that's an advantage, but it's the result.

I wondered if it was old school members being busybodies exerting control

Also crazy: it's against the law to bring liquor from any other state to Utah.

Yeah, how often do you hear about state-owned liquor stores getting robbed?
