AFAIK the 21st delegated it to the state and the county. County having the authority in this matter. Don't know. Hence why you have "dry counties" and "wet counties" and "semi-dry counties"

Doesn't dry mean you have to pay a tribute (basically a cover charge) to drink alcohol?

I don't think so. We have "dry counties" in KY where you can't buy spirits (some can't even buy beer), but you can have them in restaurants. It's complicated and I won't divert the discussion to the current prohibition that is taking place.

I believe that is what the 21st amendment did - left it up to the states and counties.

Heck, where I live the county adopted measures to sell spirits on sundays. The cities within that county chose not to adhere to these measures and impose their own laws.

But, all hail the 21st!!!!
 
Well Thank you 21st! On this chilly winter night I have enjoyed a couple cold lagers. I will now retire to my cozy bed and the hum of the furnace......

Remember, 8 parts Mr.Bubbles, to one part 87 octane. Everything else just consists of inactive ingrediants.
