Dry state

In some places, there are laws that prevent people from buying or consuming certain kinds of alcoholic drinks. This means that these places are referred to as "dry states". Think of it like a big game of "red light, green light", where the rules say that nobody is allowed to move when the light is red. Similarly, in a dry state, people aren't allowed to buy or drink alcohol. The reasons for this can vary, but it is often done to help maintain a safe and healthy community. It's important to follow these laws so that everyone can stay safe and healthy!
