Massachusetts

What's the rationale for Franklin and Hampshire Counties being "semi-dry"? I know that with Hampden and Berkshire they each have a dry town (Westfield I knew and WP says Mt. Washington is too), but I don't know of any such towns in Franklin or Hampshire, and I'm from there. —Quintucket (talk) 14:32, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Massachusetts liquor sales are regulated by the cities and towns, not by the counties, so this map is misleading to begin with. However, it is also not correct. The dry towns in Massachusetts are:

• Alford - Berkshire
• Chilmark - Dukes
• Dunstable - Middlesex
• Gosnold - Dukes
• Hawley - Franklin
• Montgomery - Hampden
• Mount Washington - Berkshire
• Westhampton - Hampshire

so Dukes County should be yellow. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:48, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Michigan

I'm from Michigan and I am confused on why most of the counties are semi dry. They sell everything in any part of the state I have ever been. They sell liquor at my local gas station which is something that isn't seen in most places.

I am also from Michigan, and had never heard of dry townships, but according to this link there are a great many dry townships in Michigan, however "dry county" seems to be defined as limited availability, which seems to mean no alcohol sales on Sunday, which is not what I thought this graphic was meant to represent. I'm not sure though, the source is pretty vague. --Legoloonie (talk) 21:02, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Yeah the source you provide supports that the counties are yellow, meaning not fully wet. ɱ (talk) 17:13, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Can the map for Michigan be updated? There are far fewer counties that are dry than what is shown on the map. According to the State of Michigan, only 20 counties are even partially dry. Meaning, there is a community (or communities) in these counties, on Sundays, that prohibit AM alcohol sales or only allow sales off-premises. Phizzy (talk) 17:59, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Three Arkansas counties go "wet"

Three counties in Arkansas (Benton, Sharp, and Madison) elected to go 'wet' during the recent election. This article has details. Brandonrush (talk) 04:17, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Litchfield County, Connecticut

Shouldn't Litchfield County in Connecticut be switched to blue, since Bridgewater voted in 2014 to approve the sale of alcohol? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wingedbeaver (talk • contribs) 15:12, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Kansas

So, I checked the map and compared it to the KDOR ABC map (https://www.ksrevenue.org/pdf/abcwetdrymap.pdf), and it needs some updating in the following counties: Finney, Gray, Meade, Clark, Stafford, Jewell, Bourbon, and come the new year, Johnson (they just passed a move from 30% to no cap). --Jcb cummings (talk) 21:43, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Correct, Wallace is not the only completely dry county in Kansas. 24.123.106.53 15:40, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Wallace is now - 24.123.106.53 15:41, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Anchorage Borough

Not sure if I'm missing something, but this page from the Alaskan government's website doesn't list Anchorage as a "local option" community. I can't find anything online about alcohol restrictions in the city either. Shouldn't it be blue on the map instead of gray? Tymewalk (talk) 10:43, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
