Yep. My hometown restricted beer and wine sales and that is exactly what we did. It was a 15min drive instead of what could have been a 5min drive.
We had a religious township do that, now the highway to the nearest wet town has the highest rate of drunkdriving deaths in the province.
I lived in a dry county growing up. If someone was headed "across the bridge" it meant they were heading to the border of the next county where they had a bar and 4 liquor stores within a half mile stretch.
It's weird that I grew up in a county that didn't sell alcohol but there were more liquor stores within 10 miles than there were grocery stores.
Username checks out. Dry/wet town/county lines are a very common experience there
When you're as drunk and Texan as I am you know where to go to get liquor.
It's getting less prevalent. Last I heard my hometown is now wet and the closest town down the street serves beer at the only restaurant there. In the last 20 years things have started loosening up a little.
