7. I live in a dry county too.
Fortunatelly, less that a mile from the nearest wet county, where the beer prices are inflated.
An hour? I'd have me a fridge in my basement filled with the good stuff and keep it stocked.

11. I can walk there in 5 minutes
Or drive 5 minutes to the liquor store, which BTW is the best store in the world. They give out FREE samples of whatever they're promoting. Before we moved here, my wife and I went in when they were pushing Cabana Boy Rum. 9 different varieties, and we had a shot of each one. Walked out trashed, but we bought a lot of Cabana Boy, plus what we came for.

15. 3 minute walk to the corner store.
One of the luxeries of living in SoCal. A store that sells beer and cigs on almost every corner.
