Dry County

A Dry County is a region where the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages are restricted or prohibited by law. These restrictions vary widely, often applying to all alcohol sales or specific types, such as liquor but not beer or wine. Communities may enact dry laws for cultural, religious, or historical reasons, and these laws can impact local businesses and social activities. Despite restrictions, residents often find ways to access alcohol through neighboring areas or private arrangements, leading some dry counties to have unique social dynamics.
