# Dry County Restrictions

Dry counties are counties within otherwise-legal DTC shipping states that prohibit alcohol delivery within their borders. CrushSuite checks for dry county restrictions during address validation.

### How It Works

When a customer enters their shipping address, CrushSuite validates the address at the county level. If the delivery address is in a county classified as "dry" (prohibiting alcohol delivery), the customer sees a message explaining that alcohol delivery is not available at their address.

### What Customers See

If their address is in a dry county: "Alcohol delivery is not available at this address. This county does not permit direct-to-consumer alcohol shipments."

### How Dry County Data Is Maintained

**Vinoshipper users:** Dry county data syncs from Vinoshipper's compliance database, which is updated as county-level regulations change.

**Self-compliance users:** Dry county enforcement depends on the address validation data available through CrushSuite. Contact support if you need to add specific county restrictions.
