Manchmal ist es in diesen Landkreisen auch illegal, Alkohol zu besitzen.
Allerdings ist es in einigen dieser trockenen Landkreise erlaubt, Alkohol mit nach Hause zu nehmen, wenn er dort gekauft wurde, wo es gesetzlich erlaubt ist – nur der Fang ist kein öffentlicher Konsum.

[Dry Counties by Mountain Sprout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu5fiSfEnLU)
moist.
*Land of the Free.*
The Navajo Nation (reservation) is not a county, and its borders are not coterminous with any counties in the surrounding states, so you should not label it as a „dry county“ on your map. That also applies to a number of other reservations on your map. You could change the caption to „Dry county or Reservation“.
You also don’t have the Hualapai reservation properly marked (it’s not the shape you have there).
I’m pretty sure the general Navajo Nation rules also apply to the Ramah Navajo reservation so you should include that.
Because some nasty old bitch shouted louder than anyone else
Hopefully you were not looking for one in Wisconsin, that would be silly.
So what’s up with Arkansas
I’m curious what the methodology is for establishing a “dry town” in Western Mass. As far as I know, towns don’t explicitly prohibit alcohol sales, they just control local liquor licenses and there are very small towns in each of the four counties that don’t have anywhere to buy anything at all. But that doesn’t mean that I would be prevented by local law from selling alcohol, only that I would need to get permission from the town.

There are 254 counties in Texas. There are 2,431 classifications of various jurisdictions recorded by the TABC.
Denton County (immediately north of Dallas-Fort Worth) has 51 different jurisdictions.
Johnsboro Arkansas
Aka dry county
Would’ve expected a lot more in Utah.
Why does the US have such a weird relationship with alcohol? Shut up and have a Guinness.
Is it just relating back to this puritanical bullshit?
Not sure how old this map is, but I don’t think NC has that many dry counties anymore
Are there still IL dry towns? I thought South Holland was the last and is wet since 2023.
It’d be interesting to have the different laws about where you can buy alcohol on top of that (which states mandate liquor stores for example)
You’ve confused the borders of reservations with counties.
In the county I grew up in, one of the two main municipalities went wet a few years before the other while the county remains dry to this day. In a move that I neither can fathom coming up with, nor understand how it was allowed to occur, that first wet city annexed several feet from the shoreline of the prominent lake that snakes its way across half the county.
In practice that means one of the most popular local restaurants, out in an unincorporated area of the county, serves alcohol despite being a 20ish minute drive away from the proper city limits of that wet town. The restaurant does this because it’s located on a peninsula that sticks out into the lake. Somehow, in yet another loophole I don’t understand, there’s a liquor store nearby out in that unincorporated part of the county that isn’t particularly near the shoreline. I’ve never understood how it’s allowed to exist. It’s all very confusing.
Whatever one’s opinion is on wet and dry as a concept, this arrangement is totally bonkers.
In Wisconsin alcohol sales are required.
For a country that claims to be all about freedom …
“map of dry counties”… then adds five colors to the map…
Ohh the land of the free indeed.
The dry places have some of the most alcoholics. Not trying to make a point just an observation.
