yep dry towns take some getting used to! Very frustrating trip to Tennessee couple of years ago where we found couldn't buy wine in the grocery store - went to the state-run liquor store bought wine only to find we had to return to the grocery store to buy a corkscrew because the liquor store can only sell liquor - nothing else. ALMOST made drinking not worth it
Still crack up at my last trip to South Carolina - no one's rules are stranger that theirs - if you can find a bar that serves something besides beer and wine it all comes out of those little tiny airplane bottles - no "straight pour" allowed.
