Supporters and opponents of liquor by the drink are both lining up forthis battle over booze. In the end, it'll, be up to the voters to decideif liquor flows.
Thirteen out of 100 counties in North Carolina allow liquor by the drinksales. They include Wake, Durham and Cumberland Counties. Only five counties, all of which are in the western part of the state, are totally dry.
