re: dry counties
I can hardly believe it MaryPoppins! I suppose "spinning" will become a "lost art form"

I'm afraid so OOM, and who ever heard of IPA in the old days? Hops? I hate hops, bitter things.

Hops are very popular things out here, but Portland is a leading spot for microbreweries and craft brewing. I went to a wedding this weekend where both the bride and groom home brew. The men had hops as part of the boutineers and the bouquets. They are actually a lovely way to include green.

I have to admit the thought makes me a little giddy... I have somehow reverted back to my beer drinking days :-) and love a good COLD hop! My poor DH was very confused the first time I brought him to Oxford for a game and was most impressed with my spinning skills... refrained from taking him to do Pete's challenge... which I suppose will now be a thing of the past as well... big sigh...

Many of my favorite brotherhood bonding memories were "running to the line". People who live in dry counties will know what I mean.

When I was at Auburn, Columbus GA was nearby and the legal drinking age was 18 there. Auburn might as well have had train service to the state line because so many runs were made.
Is Starkville still dry?

No, got beer around 1981, but couldn't buy it cold. (I believe you can now.)
Yes, I remember the crossroads fondly

Raises hand. Good ol' Smith Co, Texas. Not sure if it is still dry or not, but wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it still is.
The big issue in my area now is trying to get wine sales in grocery stores. You have to sneer when the Southern Baptists and Liquor Store owners are in bed together in opposition of this measure.

That happened here a couple of years ago.
Now the issue is, you can buy alcohol on Sundays from some stores, but there are all kinds of time limits on when you can purchase what. Bourbon & spirits cant be sold until a certain time, but beer purchases can be sold any time, etc. It makes no sense at all whatsoever.

I NEVER had to think about dry counties until I lived in Madison County Kentucky for my internship in summer 2011. We were the southernmost wet county until Tennessee. It was interesting. Sundays were also interesting. I don't know what spinning is, anyone got a you tube video visual?

At my daughter's H.S. graduation party, several Ole Miss grads spent a long time teaching our family, (new to Ole Miss) the art of spinning a beer to get it cold. They said it was an important life lesson for visiting Oxford. We spent all summer practicing.
