In Australia there are drive through liquor stores all over the place.

You can also get alcohol delivered by the major supermarket chains,
has to be ordered in advance though.

The Aussies figured out ages ago all that walking to and from the
booze stores cuts into your drinking time

Sure isn't like that here!

By 'here' you mean *your state* in the US.

There are a few states with drive-thru liquor stores.

There was one a couple years ago that got some press for discussing
either shutting down, or starting up, drive through windows for bars.
The image that sticks in my mind was a guy in a pickup truck driving
away from the pickup window with a 32oz plastic cup of some mixed
drink.

What a country. . .

JB,

From the sign on the van we were somewhere in Mildora, VIC and pulled up
to this bottle shop...

It now appears to be called The ThirstyCamel a retail small chain. I
took the photo in 2001 and meanwhile time marches on!

We figured the FAST lane was for called in pickup and the SLOW lane was
for shopping inside. We parked on the street just in case.

Best,

Andy

That must depend on where you are. I've had booze and wine delivered in
New York. And bakery goods. There are stores in Minneapolis that will
deliver, too. If it's not against the law to do it, it might
be more common in a large metro area than elsewhere. OTOH, maybe not.

Of course that's what she meant.

Quite a few? I thought the number was 2.

Maybe those states need the revenue.

NYC is a special place where *everything* can be delivered.

For me, it's not a question of "allowed" - it's a question of finding
someone who is willing to deliver small amounts. NYC is one of those
places where nothing is too small (in terms of dollars) to deliver.
All you do is tip the delivery person. I *know* people will deliver
here if you pay enough. The last car we bought was not only
delivered, we did the paperwork in our home. But I can't think of
anyplace that will deliver a single bottle of wine. Sure, I could ask
them to deliver a case or more of $20 bottles - but if I only wanted
one bottle, it better be a pricey one and I should be a long time
customer.

In PA, the Wine and Spirit shops are run by the state of PA so it's a
federal agency enterprise (which is why nobody robs Wine and Spirit
"state stores" here.). It would be similar to the FDIC bank employees
not delivering your cash withdrawal to your front door.

PA has always been very sin tax hungry. They're not going to give up the
cash cow it's owned for over a century. Beer is small potatoes in
statewide scheme of things, so PA made that concession. Beer
distributors still pay for licenses to sell.

There actually are a lot here, but of course they only sell closed
containers, and if you're caught with one open, they will arrest you.
In fact, several around here enforce only drive through sales after a
certain hour, like 9pm. I guess to avoid robberies. They lock the
front door.

L G,

Nope. And heck yeah it's a PITA!

PLUS...

In California on Sunday mornings I'd fall out of bed at 10:00 AM and be
right on time for NFL football and beer!!!

In Pennsylvania.... when I fall out of bed at 10:00 AM, I have to lay
there for three hours.



Best,

Andy
