I did not know about the grocery stores. Here grocery stores are not allowed to sell alcohol. If I had a liquor store I would look to sell it and count my blessings.

Where I am our grocery stores sell beer, liquor stores sell liquor. Anyone can sell cigarettes.

HOWEVER, you must present ID with each and every purchase.....beer, liquor, or cigarettes, no matter how old you are.

You could be 95 years old and still have to show ID. That is a CYA for the stores, as many older folks will buy alcohol and cigarettes for younger folks.

There was a big bust here two weekends ago, particularly to find adults buying alcohol for minors. Police made almost 20 arrests. Never ceases to amaze me. But then I was 18 once and one time my oldest brother bought beer for my friends and I. My parents found out and it was not pretty. Never did that stupid thing again.

I like the idea that everyone is carded, no matter how old. It is definitely CYA.

As you are in the US I can not help you too much but I run the same business over here. The restrictions that you have imposed on your delivery are always up for negotiation with the relevent autorities. Over here they wanted me to do so much but I had a very good consultant and we used the law to our advantage.

The reason I say this is because sometimes the Police over here try to impose you with totally unresonable conditions. Once you prove that these are totally unworkable for a business operation and come up with some alternatives then this is really what they are looking for.

Example: In the UK the biggest hot topic is under age drinking and anti-social behaviour. Well all my drivers are trainned every six months, everyone has to pay by card, ID must be shown if looks under 21 at the address and if they cannot prove this the delivery is refused and then the person inccurs a £5 handling charge! Plus we do not accept cash and we only deliver to homes or offices.

It can be done you just have to find a way around the autorities and speak to the right people and make sure that you have done your home work as this will speak volumes for your credibility.

This is not wholly helpful and is your personal view. They will not just deliver alcohol, they may deliver Ice, soft drinks, snacks and if you are a smoker then mabe some cigarettes for you??? The business is not limited to alcohol!!
