I hate dry counties.

They are lacking in flavor.

I always enjoyed the irony of the Jack Daniels distillery being located in a dry county.

Dry county horror story:
1991 Tyler (TX) road race (bicycle). The race was mostly in Smith County, which was dry. The Coors Light pro cycling team was invited by the event's main sponsor, the East Texas Medical Center. The team was placed under house arrest thanks to some busybody claiming that they were advertising alcohol in a dry county. It didn't stop there. I was racing for the Lone Star Sports Club, which was NOT sponsored by Lone Star Beer (the sole sponsor at the time was Katy Schwinn). Didn't matter, I was told I was advertising for Lone Star Beer. My reply was then "what about Lone Star Natural Gas, Lone Star Steel, Lone Star Cement, or even the Lone Star State?"
