      It’s ironic that Kentucky has so many dry counties when bourbon is one of the states biggest industries

      As someone who grew up in a “dry county” (beer and wine only) in TX I can confirm

      If you just watch Kansas, its basically always red/yellow.

      I live in Kansas, and I like to have a drink, but the alcohol laws were always really crazy to me (having originally lived in Wisconsin). e.g. can’t buy wine at a grocery store, no beer sales until after 12pm on Sunday, no sales after midnight, etc.

      Love how Wisconsin was the first state to remove prohibition from towns in 1990.

      I’ve never done much research into prohibition, but it’s interesting to see that so much of the country participated before it was federal law. Puts a lot more context into stories about people making fortunes on bootlegging, because it was a major enterprise for a lot longer than just 1920-33

      So there are still counties with alcohol bans? Does that mean that if you end up in a motel over there they can’t serve you a beer?

      Also, how does that work for locals – will they get beer in the supermarket in the next county and then smuggle it to their homes when the cops aren’t looking? Or are you allowed to buy it in a neighboring country and bring it to your place?

      (asking this as a European who has never been anywhere that has an alcohol ban)

      That big slash of green on MA’s east coast is from on tiny town called Rockport.

      This map labeling is funny because there is only one “town” in Pennsylvania lol

      I like this because I feel like prohibition was seen as a sudden thing that got implemented at the national level
      When in reality it was decades of local and state bans that led up to it.

      What’s going on in Washington? There are no banned counties here whatsoever.

      Almost all of the green in Texas over the last few dacades is because the county has some random town/city/community with a law on the books that’s largely ignored and/or a tint fraction of the population. Pretty misleading.

      To this day Kansas has not ratified the 21st Amendment repealing national prohibition. Thanks to that bitch Carrie Nation, which i might add was from Missouri.
