I live in a "dry" village, which means no alcohol is allowed. This does not mean that people don't bootleg it in or make "home brew", sadly resulting in a very high rate of alcoholism. Being law-abiding teachers, we don't "go there" but I did find a way to legally mail-order a very tiny taste of the holidays! Woo Hoo!!
Lovely shot! Very ignorant I know but I didn't realise there was such a thing as a dry village. What's the reason behind that? The temperatures?

@milaniet@cottiac@yeri87@scotthouston@thistle Thanks for your kind comments! Cottia - villages are free to make their own laws regarding the availability of alcohol. Our entire region is "dry" (vs. "damp" or "wet). In a "damp" village, you can posses it but can't sell or manufacture it. In "wet" you can buy it and stores/restaurants can sell it. It's because of the extremely high rates of suicide, fetal alcohol syndrome, and alcohol-related crimes. There is a tragically high rate of these issues in Bush Alaska. :-(
