It's Enough to Drive You to Drink!

July 21, 2016 by Mark Whitted Leave a Comment

A Dry Week

When we lived in Harrison, Arkansas, Boone county was “dry”. We had to drive an hour north to Missouri to by beer, wine, or liquor of any kind. But some jurisdictions are dryer than others. In Plano and Allen, Texas, we have been able to enjoy adult beverages with our meals and purchase beer and wine in grocery and convenience stores for as long as we have lived in the area. But if we wanted a bottle of anything stronger, we had to travel. But in the spring of 2013, Plano voters decided to allow liquor stores in their city. And this past spring, Allen decided to join the party. This was all after Boone county Arkansas uncorked a wet vote in November of 2010.

This post started out to be an apology for not having anything for you today. But it’s turned out to be not quite as dry as I had expected. I’m in my third week of a new job that has required travel and long hours. So I haven’t had much time for blog research and writing. My travels have taken me to new jurisdictions which include both a Whole Foods with a growler bar and state run liquor stores. I hope to do some research and crank out some fresh content over the next few weeks. So please stick around.

What do you think?

So let me know what you think. Is your area wet or dry? Or moist? We want to hear about it. Leave a comment below. Or email me at Mark@CrazyLiquorLaws.com. You will need to register to comment and at that time I will need your email address; but don’t worry; I won’t be spamming you and will never sell your information.

Cheers!

Mark
