A dry state is a U.S. state in which alcohol manufacture or sale is prohibited or tightly restricted. In modern times, no state is completely 'dry'. However, during the temperance movement, many states 'went dry', culminating in the whole US going dry during prohibition. Some states, such as North Dakota, entered the Union as a 'dry' state. Currently, although no complete state is dry in the U.S., some counties are dry counties.
