Voters in 16 States to Consider Alcohol Proposals at the Polls on Tuesday

Most of us think that Prohibition was repealed in the United States in 1933, but the reality is that it lives on in many places across the country. On Tuesday voters in at least 16 states will go to the polls with the chance to reverse restrictions on the sale of beer, wine and spirits. Lyke2Drink will be watching at least 38 different races around the country and report the results later in the week. Everything from repealing Blue Laws to turning dry counties to wet counties are being considered. Here's a recap of the ballot questions around the country:

Alabama: In the Marshall County city of Arab voters will decide on the legalization of alcohol sales. Lee County voters will decide on whether to allow Sunday alcohol sales. The cities of Auburn and Opelika in Lee County already allow Sunday sales.

Alaska: Village of Togiak voters will head to the polls to decide whether alcohol should be legal for the first time in 24 years. It is one of about 80 villages that voted to go dry in the last 25 years. Liquor is illegal but arrives by plane, boat and snowmachine. Bootleggers can get $150 a bottle for whiskey in the community.

Arkansas: In Marion County voters will consider reversing a 60-year ban of alcohol sales. In Arkansas, 42 of 75 counties are dry. The last to go wet was in 1978.

Georgia: Voters in the city of Dalton will consider sale of alcoholic beverages by the drink in restaurants and hotels on Sundays, while another measure asks all county voters if restaurants in unincorporated areas should be permitted to sell distilled spirits by the drink. The county currently permits the sale of beer and wine in restaurants.
