    Dry counties crack me up. We went camping once in SE Oklahoma and the county was dry- so we just drove 30 miles to another county and loaded up. Yeah, the dry county kept us from drinking... ok.
    We used to live in a town in SE Oklahoma that wouldn't sell liquor in restaurants, but you could buy it in any of the numerous drive-thru liquor stores (yes, drive thru liquor stores make sense). Ummm... ok.

    Yeah, that one always boggled my mind... I remember seeing one called the "beverage barn" when I was a kid.

    This is the dumbest thing I've heard of lately. Now, I really want to buy that wine!
    We have dry towns, though not too many left. I know it's a hold over from colonial days, but really, people who live in Harvard, MA, which was dry until last year, could easily drive right next door, to Boxborough, where I used to live. There's 3 liquor stores for a town of about 10,000 people.

    Yep, pretty silly. Although some places want to stay dry to keep chain restaurants out (BYOB is allowed at local restaurants).
