Still are. The county where Jack Daniel’s is distilled is dry. Also, Blount County Alabama is dry, but the county seat, Oneonta, is wet. I have property there.
Bootlegging beer and spirits into dry counties in Arkansas was considered honorable employment back in the 70’s. I still think cooking shine is a decent thing. The Lonesome River band references “raise dry corn and starve death or cook it in a moonshine still”. They were right about another thing too. “it’ll get there full and it’ll get their fast but it ain’t a gonna get there free”. Capitalism, gotta love it.
