About: Moist county

An Entity of Type: administrative region, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In the United States, a moist county is a county in between a "dry county" (in which the sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited) and a "wet county" (in which alcohol is sold). The term is typically used for any county that allows alcohol to be sold in certain situations but has limitations on alcohol sales that a normal "wet" county would not have. Some historically "dry" counties are switching to this system to avoid losing money to businesses in other counties when they do not wish to become completely "wet." The term "moist" in itself does not have any specific meaning except that the county is neither completely "wet" nor completely "dry." The terms are applicable in states in which the state legislature has permitted some or all counties to make its own rules on alcohol sales. A "d
