Dry Counties

[OldOleMiss]

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...

For what it is wroth, I find it funny that non Southerners find it funny that we have "dry counties" back home.

Fun fact. Years back, Kentucky's Christian County voted to "go wet" the same day that Bourbon County voted to "stay dry". Both counties are now "wet".

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 Until the voters repealed this law about 5 years ago, you could buy hard liquor and get a mixed drink on Sunday, but you couldn't purchase beer or wine.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.

Yep. Slippery Rock was officially "dry" when it got named one of the Playboy top party schools. Of course, PA as a whole is slightly backwards when it comes to alcohol.
