A '''dry county''' is a region of the country that has voted together to enforce [[prohibition]] on the [[county]] level. Reasons given for having such a county-wide law include: elimination of [[drunk driving]], community health, and one less cause of moral dissolution. Since prohibition is forbidden on the national and state level by the [[Twenty-First Amendment]], this is the best that prohibitionists can currently attain through legal channels. [[Kansas]] and [[Arkansas]] are among the states with the most dry counties. The opposite of a dry county is a "wet county". | A '''dry county''' is a region of the country that has voted together to enforce [[prohibition]] on the [[county]] level.
