I don't understand the concept of dry counties (or Parishes).
On top of it overriding the feds, I think it even comes down to the individual cities. I believe Oktibbeha county is technically dry, but you can buy alcohol within the city limits of Starkville. I also know the city of Booneville also just voted against beer in their city.

I also don't understand the concept of dry counties. Now living with in a reasonable driving distance to Tuscaloosa, and now with Alabama having passed their higher ABV laws, I will drive and spend my money in a different state where I can get a larger selection of beer. I'm just glad the craft beer scene in Starkville and West Point is starting to pick up. The beer selection in Columbus leaves something to be desired.

I moved here from California. I wasn't old enough to drink then, but moving here was a bit of a culture shock. Almost like traveling back in time in some ways. However, I got use to living here, received a great education from MSU, met my wife, and met some awesome people. Living here has it's moments and it does suck sometimes, but the most part, I kind of like it here. Now only if they would change their dang beer laws!

Jersey doesn't make excuses for its douche bag problem (not everyone, but there is an epidemic), so no excuses for MS' alcohol problem
