Utah bartenders may serve alcoholic drinks to patrons directly over bar counters instead of having to walk around them under a new law that has just taken effect.
Partitions known as "Zion curtains" -- usually made of glass -- that separate bartenders from customers began coming down early in the day. The name is a reference to the state's religious heritage as the home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which tells its members to abstain from alcohol.
