    I lived in a dry county growing up. If someone was headed “across the bridge” it meant they were heading to the border of the next county where they had a bar and 4 liquor stores within a half mile stretch.

    It’s weird that I grew up in a county that didn’t sell alcohol but there were more liquor stores within 10 miles than there were grocery stores.

      Username checks out. Dry/wet town/county lines are a very common experience there
