why not make it a wet county, I have said all these years just look at the money that went across the county line to buy alcohol. I heard the argument that more people would drink if they could easily get it but just look out by peoples trash and see all the alcohol bottles,cans out for the trash and you can''t travel down a back road without seeing beer cans and bottles on side the road so it should be available there, thankfully I live now in a place I can get it 7 days a week if I want it.

Thats good now you can become an alcoholic without having to drive very far.

I'm willing to bet the opponents of this proposed legislation are staunch 'Chr-stians' who mistakenly believe that the consumption of alcohol is a sin.
