From my understanding the wet vs. dry issue is a individual towns issue.  I know that Enterprise is wet.  Sells beer, wine and hard liquor.  Except of course on Sundays.  Other towns have had it on there ballots and voted to stay dry over the years.

The towns being wet was a way to get around being in a dry county like Coffee where you have a growing city like Enterprise with people settling there who would like to have a simple beer with dinner.  The Bama Legislature passed laws that allow towns of a certain size in dry counties to call referendums on going wet.  What I don't get is how, with all these people buying beer in Enterprise/Elba, can the count not vote to go wet?  Maybe now it is advantageous for the Enterprise/Elba that the county remain dry thereby meaning more of an alcohol revenue windfall for these towns.
