Drinks.com skirts around regulation

from the Calling-all-alcoholics dept

Drinks.com is establishing relationships with local retailers in 30 states and promises to be selling you your favorite nighttime (or morning) beverage by 2001. I think this is great. Any way for more kids, alcoholics or others to get at alcohol is a great thing, in my opinion.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Actually, I think this is great.

    As a Pennsylvania resident, it might actually allow me more selection than I get at the state-run liquor stores in my area. Stores which have uniformly BAD selections, and all the ambiance of Stalinist Russia.

    Of course, a better solution would be to ditch the liquor store system like the repressive failure it is, but then everyone would turn into alcoholics and vampires like the heathen scum in Delaware.
