OK, do I have Alabama stories!
In high school, I worked at the Jolly Ox restaurant (Brookwood Village location). It was actually "Steak and Ale", but Alabama had a law prohibiting the name of a libation in the name of a restaurant.
In college, I was the one sober driver in a car passing north through Cullman County Alabama. Unfortunately, I was in the back seat (I know...youthful invincibility...). The two front seat passengers were arrested - not for drunk driving - for "transporting alcohol through a dry county". Hmmmm
Cost ME $1,200 to bail them out of jail...that was back in college when I had some money...
As we moved from Atlanta to Birmingham in 1970...we crossed the state line to a billboard saying that "300,000 Southern Baptists Welcome You to Alabama".
Alabama is the buckle of the bible belt...it will always have conservative laws on drinking.
