| Dry Counties
Anybody got a link to a list of dry counties in Tennessee?
Before you say "GOOGLE is your friend", I've already tried that. |

TENNESSEE
Some Tennessee state rules regulating alcohol advertising are violations of First Amendment free speech rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, according to a legal opinion issued by the Tennessee Attorney General’s office.
In spite of that official legal opinion, the state continues enforcing its apparently unconstitutional restrictions on free speech

| I wonder if the "dry counties" are old laws meant to clamp down on the 'shiners?
Here in CT, we have "Blue Laws" hung up on the books from the Puritan days. No alcohol sales on Sunday, and not after 9pm on the other days. Until recently, it was 8pm. Sucks for me, being in the center of the state...most of my buddies can zip to Mass, NY, or Rhode Island to grab beer late, or on Sunday. Me, i have to walk to the Moose Club 1 1/2 miles up the road to get smasharookied on a Sunday | |

| You can get it by the drink here but no stores. Makes no sense.
