Those are the worst. A few years back I spent a lot of time in Southern Illinois and got to experience dry counties. It's mind blowing when you've never experienced it..Originally posted by wiseguy -

This one's dry too. But most of the towns have liquor by the drink so it's not an issue. And Sunday sales too, after noon. So the days of having to buy your Sunday beer on Saturday are over. Liquor stores are closed on Sundays tho.Originally posted by VAiN View PostAmerican by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

Crown Royal Reserve on the rocks. Deadbeat brother in law is over for the weekend, so I suspect it will be a doozy trying to stay medicated enough not to tell him how it is...Comment

Originally posted by envy_me View PostJack Daniel's is actually made in a dry county. If you take the distillery tour they go,"Wiskey, whiskey everywhere and not a drop to drink." Why countys went dry is there was such a drinking problem with the men, the wives politically organized and pushed the politicians to make booze illegal. This is where the national prohibition came from but because of all the resulting gangster violence it was repealed. Some countys still hold onto prohibition. Oddly enough where they make all the bourbon and whiskey. I think people must have been drunk all the time and completely useless due to the easy access of booze. The wives got fed up and pushed their husbands to sobriety with the law.Jack Daniel's is a brand of sour mash Tennessee whiskey that is the highest selling American whiskey in the world.[1][2] It is known for its square bottles and black label. It is produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee by the Jack Daniel Distillery, which has been owned by the Brown-Forman Corporation since 1956.[3] Despite being the location of a major operational distillery, Jack Daniel's home county of Moore is a dry county, so the product is not available for consumption at stores or restaurants within the county. However, the distillery does sell commemorative bottles of whiskey in the White Rabbit Bottle Shop, but due to Tennessee state law it cannot sell whiskey on Sunday.[Last edited by Nitro Express; 03-30-2013, 07:12 PM.No!

I lived in Utah for awhile. Bars can't serve mixed drinks unless they are a private club. If you go to the bar at the downtown Marriott the bartender can not serve you let's say Jack and Coke. Across the hall is a liquor store. You can go over and buy a whole fifth of Jack Daniel's. The bartender can serve the Coke and you pour your Jack in yourself.Originally posted by DONNIEP View Post
So in Utah you don't buy a drink. You buy a drunk. They had great state liquor stores though. The prices were reasonable and they had great selection of beers, wines, and of course the hard stuff.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Here we call that brown bagging. And restaurants in dry towns can get a brown bag permit which allows the patrons to bring in your own booze to have with dinner. They serve "mixers" and you add your own liquor to the drink. Or you can bring in beer. It's fun when you're 21 but seems like too much work nowOriginally posted by Nitro Express View Post

I can't imagine many restaurant owners (and even the help) are happy with this. Liquor is one of the biggest boosters of the bottom line...Originally posted by DONNIEP View PostHere we call that brown bagging.
