I've listed this article for peer review because…

I'm wondering if it would be helpful to turn this list into a table, and then maybe put in a template of other laws compared by state.

When you say put in a template of other laws, do you mean a template like Template:Law or an infobox like the ones in Category:Law_infobox_templates?

I agree that the two state lists should be converted into table form. Did you want suggestions on column headers or do you already have something in mind? Were you thinking something like the table in List of alcohol laws of the United States by state?

If you want more comments on other parts of the article I can list those, too. One I am thinking of now (before I forget) is the question of whether towns themselves can declare themselves dry in a "wet" county? The See also link brought that to mind since it had a lot of information in common with your article. Another is "Some prohibit off-premises sale, some prohibit on-premises sale, and some prohibit both.". I wasn't not sure what that means just from reading it. I Googled it so now I know, but maybe the terms could defined on Wiktionary. On-premises sales made sense, off-premises sales not so much.

I think would I would do is reformat the article to have an overview (already present) then have one table with an entry for each state, giving an overview with the situation for each state.
Once that is done I would strongly consider merging the related articles Dry state and List of dry communities by U.S. state. I say this as I like the idea of having a "one stop shop" for places with restricted alchohol laws, and this page is close to being it. Dave (talk) 17:10, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
