<Li> KRS 243.155 allows individual precincts within dry territory to vote to allow a "small farm winery" to operate within the precinct . Once approved, a winery not only can produce and sell wine on its premises but also can apply for a license to sell wine and beer by the drink in a restaurant located on its premises . As of January 2013, 28 wineries in 20 different counties had been approved locally . Of these 28 locations, three were awaiting state licensure, and four had obtained licenses but later closed . KRS 243.154 allows a wholesale distributor of wine produced in small farm wineries to operate in dry territory . </Li> <Li> KRS 242.1242, enacted into law in June 2007, allows precincts in dry territory that also house a "qualified historic site"--defined in KRS 241.010 (34) as either a site listed on the National Register of Historic Places or a National Historic Landmark, which also includes dining facilities for at least 50 patrons--to hold a local option election to allow sales of alcohol by the drink at qualified sites in that precinct . (When originally passed, the definition of a "qualified historic site" required that the location provide lodging, but that provision was removed in 2010 .) The first such election was held in the North Burgin precinct of Mercer County on November 6, 2007, in which voters approved such sales at the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, the largest restored Shaker settlement in the U.S. Since then, two other locations have voted to allow sales under this statute, but both are awaiting state licensing . One of these two, Boone Tavern in Berea, faces an additional complication--Berea College, the establishment's owner, has not yet determined whether it will apply for a license . </Li> <Li> Finally, KRS 242.125 allows individual precincts in a city or county to vote dry in a wet city or county, and also allows dry precincts within an otherwise wet city or county to vote wet . An example of this law was in September 2007, when four precincts in Louisville's west end voted to end liquor sales as a deterrent to crime in the area . A more recent example occurred in August 2012, when three dry precincts in Sturgis, located in the wet Union County, held local option elections; one of the three precincts voted wet . </Li> <P> A study of about 39,000 alcohol - related traffic accidents in Kentucky found that residents of dry counties are more likely to be involved in such crashes, possibly because they have to drive farther from their homes to consume alcohol, thus increasing impaired driving exposure . The study concludes that county - level prohibition is not necessarily effective in improving highway safety . </P>
