Prohibition against nude dancing in a licensed liquor establishment does not violate the free speech provision of N.M. Const. art II § 17 because the broad powers of the states to regulate the sale of liquor, conferred by U.S. Const. amends. XXI, outweighs any U.S. Const. amends. I interest in nude dancing; thus, the state can ban such dancing as a part of its liquor license program. Nall v. Baca, 1980-NMSC-138, 95 N.M. 783, 626 P.2d 1280, 1980 N.M. LEXIS 2762 (N.M. 1980).
