It can be done. Precinct 1 in Briscoe County can now sell alcohol
A close vote Saturday resulted in the opportunity for consumers to shop at home in Briscoe County.

Voters in Justice of the Peace Precinct 1, which includes Silverton, approved a measure to legalize the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption.

"We are now a wet county," said Bena Hester, Briscoe county clerk.

The vote was 288 for and 255 against the sale of alcohol only in Precinct 1.
Wow, that really was a close vote. What's funny is that 255 people voted in favor of the other 288 driving back home from Estelline drunk off their ass.
