According to a Gallup survey conducted this month, American liberals are more likely to drink than American conservatives.

Not many liberals live in dry counties.

Not trying to be argumentative, but in reality, there is no such thing as a dry county, anymore.

The laws may be on the books, but just as much, if not more, alcohol flows in a dry county as a wet county...it's just much more private.

I speak from experience, based on past employment.

Most sheriffs and many smaller cities ignore it, unless it is openly bootlegged and/or underage drinkers are one of the targets for the bootlegger or if it provides probable cause to proceed further on an arrest.

That experience I spoke of also told me that most of those that ignore the blue laws or prohibition are democrat and just about as liberal as they come, particularly if it is a primarily Republican county anyway.

I’m with you. Already had a tiny bit of Laphroaig cask strength Scotch, a glass of sauv blanc with lunch and now a glass of nebbiolo for desert.

In Soviet Russia, the one product in plentiful quantities was Vodka.

Drink more what?

I likely qualify as a conservative, and I think a good martini is God's gift to mankind.
