I lived in a 100% dry county when I went to college. It was about 22 miles to reach the nearest liquor store.
Which of course had unintended consequences. We drank. Fraternities turned into de-facto bars. We would pool our money on a Thursday and make the 35 minute drive to the liquor store. We'd typically spend $1500-$2000 on booze and truck it back to campus. The idea was the buy the booze we'd need for the weekend. We'd typically be completely out by sometime on Friday.
At that point some drunk college kid would decide to drive 22 miles to buy more booze. My university had multiple drunk driving fatalities every year because of this.
It's better now (restaurants can serve booze finally), but I'll never understand why that law existed in the first place.
