This remains a heated topic in many parts of West Texas. The city in which I live is dry (no package stores in the city limits, but you can buy liquor by the drink in restaurants and bars); however, the county is wet. Many neighbouring communities are dry. Recenlty, another nearby community, Slaton, voted to allow grocery and convenience stores to sell alcohol. Since I am not a big drinker (I imbibe in great moderation), I am a bit indifferent on the issue. Also, I have lived in cities where alcohol was available in grocery and convenience stores.

So, what are your thoughts on this? When I first moved to Lubbock, I was taken aback by the "dry" nature of the town. If San Antonio went dry, there would be riots in the streets...

I was in Uvalde, TX a couple of weeks ago. I had to join a club to get a beer with my steak. Silliness. Before I began traveling for work, I didn't realize there were still dry counties in this country, in this century. Talk about Nanny-Statism.
