Yes, I know it's a stub. Please add info on your state (and refine dates if possible). I am hoping to come back tomorrow to find more new states than condemnations Jeffryfisher ( talk) 02:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
I've started inserting dry states in order. I haven't figured out yet whether they can be added out of order and told to sort themselves. Jeffryfisher ( talk)
A new tag has appeared asking for info about each state's liquor laws. I find this ironic because I originally started this as a "list of dry states" separate from the clutter of an over-length article about temperance in the US.
Maine already had its own article when I started this page. I linked to it from the name "Maine" in the table. I think that, rather than including 50 other states' stories here, it would be better to extend the model of spawning a separate article for each and then linking both ways. That way, the list will stay clean as a hub. Jeffryfisher ( talk) 19:37, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
I think it'd be best to condense this information in the repeal article especially since all state level dry level laws were repealed in aftermath of the national law. St8fan ( talk) 19:14, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Is there a reason why some dates are in italics? Jtyroler ( talk) 08:13, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
From my reading, prohibition in Iowa was passed in 1882 [1] , but only went into effect in 1884 [2] and was reversed by Muct Law in 1891 [3]. There was also an alleged exception in "Clark's Law" [4] which allowed illegal sales of alcohol in Sioux City, in exchange for a fine.

To get the dates to sort in chronological order, they need to be in a consistent format, such as 1915-7-1 for July 1, 1915. I'm adding more states to the list so I can make this change. Is this ok? Rosalina523 ( talk) 20:26, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Since an effective date is the one when a state actually went "dry", and it often differs from the day a state prohibition law was passed, I'll use the effective date when updating the list. To make sure the dates are consistent - effective vs passage of the state law - that may mean updating a couple of dates on this list. Ok? Rosalina523 ( talk) 20:37, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Some states went dry, then the state repealed it, then went dry again. Iowa is a good example. How do you want to handle those? I'd suggest using the most recent effective date and use footnotes to explain the earlier dates? Other suggestions? Rosalina523 ( talk) 20:44, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Can anyone verify that State of Georgia repealed prohibition on alcohol sales in 1935? I found an article from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that talks about AJC Deja News: Thirsty Fulton voters OK alcohol sales (1935). Rjluna2 ( talk) 19:09, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
