Trump vs Biden isn\\u2019t the only issue that's been dividing communities in the USA in recent months - some have also been arguing over alcohol. Alongside November\\u2019s presidential vote, several counties and cities voted on whether to give up their \\u2018dry\\u2019 status and allow alcohol sales, many for the first time in 100 years.\\n \\nThis week we hear from Bath County, Kentucky, which narrowly voted to go \\u2018wet\\u2019. Emily Thomas hears the story of this small rural community told by the people on opposite sides of the sometimes bitter argument - a pastor whose daughter was killed by a drunk driver, and a young metal worker convinced alcohol sales will bring prosperity.
