And Cuban cigars. Around these parts, just sitting on your porch with a Bud Light will get you thrown in the pokey, as ridiculous as that sounds. To make matters worse, now I'm married to "the law" so I guess that will end my weekend benders. Back to drinking in the closet after everyone goes to sleep.

That would be much harder, however, because of the way local legislation works with the constitution. Basically, there would almost have to be a separate public vote for a referrendum on each of the counties that are dry. And, because there would certainly be at least one legislator who voted against bringing it to a vote, each county vote would probably have to be approved by every voter in the state. So I'd prefer to wait for a constitutional convention. About the dry county thing — working on it.
