Back in 2021, Uber purchased Drizly for $1.1 billion shortly after it reported that its food delivery segment kept its losses manageable during the pandemic. Three years later, the company is shutting down the US-based alcohol delivery service, Axios has reported. Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, Uber’s SVP of delivery, told the publication that the company has decided to close the business and to focus on its “core Uber Eats strategy.”
I get them all the time for Meijers and a local bar/liquor store. One restaurant still sells margaritas in plastic cups, “sealed” with just a paper tape. I’m not completely sure that’s legal, but I look forward to the GoFundMe for my legal fees and living expenses if and when I get arrested for it.
I’ve been left with 4 bottles of champagne, a bottle of prosecco, 3 cases of beer, and a box of wine in the past year, where the customer just didn’t want to answer the door.
NAL, but it would appear in most places in the great nation of America, any tape on a lidded plastic cup is a sufficient seal to defeat an open container citation (appears to be similarly treated as wine bottles that have paper/label seals) and it appears more than half the union offers drive up liquor sales in additions to NOLA’s famous drive thru margaritas source: (https://www.motorbiscuit.com/margarita-madness-states-offer-drive-through-alcohol/).

Michigan’s laws only very recently (during the pandemic) changed to allow this.
I mention Michigan specifically because they mentioned Meijer and Michigan is one of the states you can find those.
I’m not worried about it at all. I figure that if there is an issue with the packaging, the restaurant and DD would be liable.
