  Yes. Currently the list of Countries that have prohibition (and their counties) are:
  
   Afghanistan
   Bangladesh
   Brunei
   Iran
   Indonesia (prohibition in small business shops)
   India (prohibition in the states of Kerala, Gujarat, Bihar, Nagaland, Manipur and the union territory of Lakshwadeep)
   Libya
   Kuwait
   Maldives (excluding non-Muslims)
   Mauritania
   Pakistan (excluding non-Muslims)
   Saudi Arabia
   Sudan
   Somalia
   United Arab Emirates (prohibition in the emirate of Sharjah)
   Yemen
  
  
  Most of these are in Muslim-majority countries while India only prohibits alcohol in some states and their residing counties.  
  I am interchanging county and country because not all countries that have counties or states that have been divided into counties.
