Moist county (Kentucky)

Classification of counties based on alcohol sales in the US

In the United States state of Kentucky, a moist county is a county the regulations in force of which are between those of a "dry county" and a "wet county". The term is typically used for any county that allows alcohol to be sold in certain situations but has limitations on alcohol sales that a normal "wet" county would not have. Some historically "dry" counties are switching to this system to avoid losing money to businesses in other counties when they do not wish to become completely "wet". The term "moist" in itself does not have any specific meaning except that the county is neither completely "wet" nor completely "dry". A "dry" county that contains one or more "wet" cities is typically called "moist".
