# 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. > 📸 **Screenshot:** Address validation failure showing a dry county restriction message --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
