If you were around in 1919 (just before prohibition started) and came across this poster......
would you quit drinking? I mean, seriously.

Hahahaha! You think THAT's prohibition? I accidentally moved into a dry county here. NO alcohol sales, at all, at any time.

I always found it amusing that Jack Daniels Distillery is in a dry county.

I've just been to Perth, Australia.
I just had to smile when I saw many drive-in 'bottle shops' (off licences).
You pull your car into what looks like a large garage, place your order and then they bring your bottles of beer/wine/spirits and put it into the boot of the car for you and off you go.
There's going to be a new Trader Joe's in our New Jersey town....but unfortunately it won't have a licence to sell alcohol...the last licence which changed hands (I believe there are 6 for a population of 19,000) sold for a whopping $500,000
There is one county in NJ (Bergen I think?) where there is a huge shopping mall. We went shopping there one Sunday and I wondered why the car park was so empty. It turned out that shopping is banned in this locality on Sundays! This same county is also dry, it seems so pointless to me as NJ is the most heavily populated State and not very large, so you don't need to go that far to find alcohol or just to find a shopping mall.
'Tis a strange place, the USA at times.

The next city to us (same county) is in a dry precinct. There's one our side of the line, called "The Limit" and one the other side, called "The Line."
