Probably not a coincidence that these are areas Rick Santorum seems to do best.

Binge drinking fuelling liver deaths in UK

The map needs more work. North Carolina allows local governments to permit liquor by the drink (many do) and operate municipal liquor stores for hard liquor (most do). Ok, it's marked yellow.

But Minnesota has a similar local option for towns to operate liquor stores and even bars (e.g. http://www.cityofsavage.com/how-it-started ) and Minnesota is all blue.

As a matter of fact, the town is still dry and everyone that lives there frequents the taverns in the next town.

It makes no sense.

I saw a report on the BBC yesterday about that. Naturally the only solution they can find is to set a minimum price on alcohol.

That map is a little misleading, at least it is as far as the Carolinas are concerned.

NC is largely yellow because the ABC stores are all state run. You can’t buy a bottle of anything stronger than wine in a private store. Also, these state run ABC stores are closed on Sunday.

Then, you have SC, which from all appearances on the map is wide open “wet.”. Wrong. It’s a heavily tourist dependent state, but like most tourist areas there are traps designed to relieve you of money. SC requires all mixed drinks to be poured in precise measure, from those little airplane bottles. Last I knew, they were all you could get there, in a bar or a store.

So, it’s misleading, as I said.

So’s Virginia, really. They’re very law and order, and as favorably as i tend to look upon maintenance of public order, they’re a little too hardassed about it. I don’t understand the Commonwealth very well, and the county police forces are not something with which I’d want to tangle very often, over anything. A speeding ticket can leave you feeling as if you’ve just had a brush with a tad too much authoritarianism.

I live in a dry county in Kentucky. There are several bootleggers and clubs where alcohol is served. Word is the Bootleggers and Baptists keep the county dry.

Funny ! places in ole kentucky are dry as a bone but you can get booze in just about any dance hall and state park brand name from the back of a pickup truck or the trunk of a car things aren’t as dry as you would think ....

[cripplecreek]

Seems to me that the fact that the laws do appear to be very much up to the individual counties, indicates a great deal of freedom.

That’s what they do in Texas.
It’s a scam

Alaska has quite a few dry Indian villages - for good reason.

Funny we had to do just that. On our way back from Park City to Orem, we found a log cabin bar and walked in and ordered some beers. The bartender asked if we were "members", and we said no. He said someone had to sponsor you to be a member, and the crusty old lady next to us volunteered to "sponsor" our membership.

Then we had to pay $20 membership fee. Then drank two beers and left. Silly stuff.

No cover charge?

That’s a funny concept of freedom. Luckily the tyranny of the local majority is easier to escape than the tyranny of the national majority.

It used to be that we had to buy a unicard, buy a club membership AND pay a cover charge LOL

Its a scam.

VS the federal government dictating for all, in my opinion it is very free. Even if its a restriction, if the control is local, its always better.

Yet Utah isn't dry.

Go figure...
