Pulaski County is a "Moist" county as defined by The Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The County features 2 "Small Farm Wineries" that sell wine to the public. The City of Burnside allows restaurants to serve alcoholic beverages by the drink but does not allow packaged liquor sales. The City of Somerset voted on June 26, 2012 to go fully "wet" which means alcoholic beverages can be purchased by the package and restaurants and bars can serve alcoholic beverages by the drink. All other areas of Pulaski County are "Dry".
