This does happen in the North, too. Gasp! My county was dry on Sunday, except for some weird loophole in this old law that resulted in "fermented" beverages being banned, but "distilled" beverages were OK. Until the voters repealed this law about 5 years ago, you could buy hard liquor and get a mixed drink on Sunday, but you couldn't purchase beer or wine.
Some towns in the county are still dry...all the time. This keeps popping up on the local ballots; it's always fun to see how the votes go on the TV reports. These always get special mention.
