At University of Illinois, it's Kam's. At Oklahoma State, it's Eskimo Joe's.

Arkansas State University is in a dry county - no alcohol can be sold in restaurants, and there are no public bars. There are 4 'private clubs' that you are required to pay a membership to join. The one most students joined was The 501.

Wow. That's a lot of freakin' bullshit.

Sounds like the owners of those private clubs are probably on the county board.

Some of them are. But, the counties vote whether they are wet or dry. It has a lot to do with being in the Bible Belt. Also, except for the counties where Fayetteville (U of A) and Little Rock ( UALR), all counties that have a college located in them voted themselves dry.

But, in Jonesboro (ASU), the counties above and below us were 'wet'. Both were about 15 minutes away and had liquor stores within 20 feet of the county line. You would walk through the house and tell people that you were "Runnin' to the line." People would either go with you or give you money and a list of what to buy.

Wait...there aren't even any liquor stores in the county?

What planet are these people from? I'm not a huge drinker as of late- I probably have a total of 20 drinks a year - but I like to know that when I want a beer, I can go have one, be it in a restaurant, bar, or one I purchased at the gas station down the street.

No liquor stores. No beer, wine, or liquor is sold anywhere except in the private clubs. And, we had to be careful about bringing it from one county to the other. If you had too much, you were bootlegging. I can't remember what the amount was, but we always had to be careful. Sometimes the county sheriff would set up road blocks to check how much alcohol was being brought in.

Since there really is not much to do in Las Cruces, most students (Greeks and non Greeks) go to the Strip in Juarez, Mexico. And there is also Hurrican.

We did have a place called the Brew but it closed due to some new law
