Beer Delivered in an Hour ?

Amazon prime !!!

Because you want it NOW !! haha

Nut

I've tried to order wine, but the web store wouldn't complete the checkout. I think it's illegal to deliver in Texas.

My local liquor store delivers.

I was talking about getting it shipped.

Shipping from an out-of-state retailer is prohibited in Texas, but individuals may ship wine to Texas as long as the shipments are "non-commercial transactions."

Wonder how much longer that law will last.

My wife used to get it delivered from some online wine club deal. Neighbors wife still does, big boxes of it lol. They sometimes leave it here when they aren't home.


Club W was who she and neighbor used.

That law will last as long as the old baptists are alive (my parents included)

Given Amazon has multiple distribution centers in Texas and now pays sales tax here, I would guess they are no longer considered an "out-of-state retailer". If the state wanted to argue that they are, it would re-open the sales tax issue, which I doubt the state wants to do.

Amazon has third party sellers that are all over the world, so it might apply to those sellers and not Amazon proper.

True, but if it's one hour delivery, in Texas' metro areas it's likely a local distributor if not Amazon. But it will be interesting to see if Amazon pursues a beer/liquor/wine distribution license at some point. My guess is they will.

I think you're right. I wasn't taking that into account in my first response.

An hour???
Empires have been built and destroyed in an hour!

I live 3 miles from Winfield / Miller's Cove and 3.5 from Mt. Pleasant . 'Nuff said .

I can get beer from the store to my house in less that 7 minutes. If it is not broke do not try to fix it

Yeah but when you're half way through a six pack and realize it's a whiskey night... sure is nice to call for a delivery.

If I call for a whiskey night something went south and both the house and dock are always stocked for either. Our problem comes when you say 2 people are coming and 8 show up That chit pisses me off

I am surprised Uber or Lyft or somebody like that hasn't gotten in delivery or beer delivery.

I do find it stupid that we have regulation on what time and days we can buy beer/wine or liquor.

I have been to many places that sell 24/7.

Not nuff said for me. I have no idea the significance of living 3 miles from those places.

Sad, really sad.

Drizzly delivers alcohol. Like everything, there's an App for that.

In 1977 Mr. Albert Miller built a trailer park south of Winfield (on the other side of I-30) and used the population to vote in the first "wet" area in Titus County since prohibition . Winfield followed suit in the '90s . It was a big deal down here in Baptist/CoC country with people who voted for alcohol being "churched" (barred from church fellowship) , voted out of office , etc.

Mt. Pleasant recently voted to allow the sale of beer and wine for off premise consumption in retail establishments such as grocery and convenience stores .

Sorry for the history lesson . My point was that I'm 5 minutes away from roughly 20 vendors so I don't need home delivery .

Interesting. Thanks for the info. Man, I'm gonna be a lot less bitter once all the old Baptists are gone.

Essplain please, spandex warrior.

You talkin' 'bout my Momma , boy .

Seriously though : this area was rampant with 'shiners during the Prohibition era . The effects of non-regulated whiskey production on consumers is well documented . Add to that the fact that certain bloodlines ( Scot and Irish - I can say that without being racist because I are one) in the Bible Belt are more susceptible to alcoholism and it's pretty clear why preachers are so against any consumption whatsoever .

yep wine delivery is illegal in Texas due to the Texas wine lobby

I Wish no ill will upon your mama, sir.

I get that those preachers have that hang up, but being a Baptist until I reached the age of reason, and being as Irish as anyone can be after 7 generations in Texas, and after them all having somehow married other Irish Texans, preachers can kiss my grits.
