chug law
 n.— «Some of Utah’s booze laws have a reverse effect from what was probably intended. These are commonly known as “chug” laws. For example, the fact that you can’t have more than one drink in front of you means that when the server comes to bring you the second drink you ordered, you wind up chugging the remains of the first.» —“Re-Cork & Carry” by Ted Scheffler City Weekly (Salt Lake City, Utah) July 20, 2006.
