Nope into the 70-80s counties were still dry in AL, MS, OK, and North Florida. like Santa Rosa county in FL was dry until the 90s.
Our county in MS was dry until maybe 5 years ago…
Baptist said everyone was going to hell 😂😂
LOL. While I understand that there still were lots of “dry counties” back then, it’s not really Prohibition, which was Nation wide. 🤪
The county I grew up in voted itself “wet” in 1978, the year I graduated from HS. By a margin of like 50 votes. 🤪
There were three Private Christian College’s here. One Baptist, one Methodist, and one Church of Christ, which pretty much ran the Mayor’s office and City Council. 🤪
There was a little unincorporated “town” just a mile north and across the County Line that made a fuggin FORTUNE $$$ in the 1940’s 50’s, 60’s & 70’s because of the 4 Liquor Stores there owned by the Pinkie Brothers.
They owned Liquor Stores all over TX just like that just across the County Line.
Now, I think there are only 3 or 4 of them left in the whole State. 🤪
