Before I address your other points, I'd like to know what the compelling interest would be in preventing me from selling beer? Pretend for a moment that I live in a community of 100 people, all of whom have been drinking my beer for years. In fact, all 100 of them sell their own beer as well.
As time progresses, a few of them decide to stop drinking and selling beer for one reason or another. As time progresses further, the non-drinkers become a majority on the town council, perhaps five of them.
Can you think of a compelling 'state' interest that would empower a majority on the town council to arbitrarily stop the sale of beer in my community?
What kind of an oligarchy you got goin' on there?
There are many dry towns and communities across the United States. I suppose if I were to do some research, I could look up the various ordinances to find out the background and reasons for their decisions. Why? Would that make a difference to you?
Why do I have this feeling that no matter my response, it would be unacceptable to you? Tell me that you didn't just ask me to waste my time answering your question. Tell me that there would be some answer that you would find acceptable.
Fine. Then use that one.
