So you think they drink and drive any less right now? Do you realize that historically, dui's go down after a county goes wet? I read an article about a county in Northern KY went wet, and alcohol related accidents and dui's went down. You think people in Johnson county don't drink because it's dry? That people will start drinking just because it's wet? You must not realize that there ia a liquor store 5 minutes from town.

Did I say they drink and drive less now.....no I did not. You've mentioned dui's going down after a county goes wet before....sorry but I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now. The fact is that people are killed or seriously injured by drunk drivers everyday regardless if it the city/county are wet or dry. Something you and everyone else who voted for Paintsville to be wet, can't ignore is that during the time that Paintsville is wet, people will be killed or injured by drunk drivers who purchased their beer/liquor in the city. Granted it may be 1 or it may be 100, nobody knows, but in my opinion 1 life is to many.

Let me ask you and everyone else who voted yes this question, regardless if it's 1 week after sales start or 5 years after sales start, whenever someone is killed by a drunk driver who purchased their alcohol in Paintsville, could you go their family and say yes I voted for the legalization of alcohol sales. I don't know about you but I couldn't.
