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.

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.
