As I See It
Home booze delivery? Soon there may be an app for that too
People’s shopping habits have sure
changed. No longer content to go to the store to pick out clothes, or
televisions, or even groceries, more and more people are choosing to do
their shopping in the comfort of their own homes.
Or, more and more, from wherever they are on their phones. The latest
product to be available with just a few clicks is booze. Some Wisconsin
lawmakers are considering making it legal for people to have alcohol
delivered to their home. The bill, if passed,
would allow people to use an app or the internet to order a bottle of
vodka or a six pack of beer and have it delivered to their home. There
would be some restrictions. People would have to be of legal drinking
age, and able to prove it. Those delivering the
hooch would have to first pass a bartender training course. It is clear
people are choosing to do more of their shopping from somewhere other
than a store, but liquor? I suppose if someone has had too many but
still wants one more, this would at least keep
them off the road. But it also would seem to encourage
over-consumption. And it seems unnecessary. Are there really that many
people that want their booze delivered to them? We already have Kwik
Trips on nearly every corner. But clearly, people like shopping
on their phones, and in Wisconsin, even when buying booze, soon their
may be an app for that too.
