Question: Can one order booze online?
« on: September 11, 2009, 10:29:06 AM »
I owe a friend a bottle of Tequila.  But I live in Illinois, and he lives in Florida.

Anyone know if I can order it online, or am I going to have to take differant measures?

Be very careful.....

Moving alcohol from one state to the other can have serious repercussions if you get caught..

Find a website in the town he lives in.....or even the yellow pages...and look for a liquor store. Call them and see what they suggest.

It depends on where he lives.  In Texas, we have wet and dry areas.  We can order wine online, and have it shipped, but it depends on where we are if it can be delivered or not.  I recently moved to a wet area, and now my friends that live in dry areas have their wine shipped to my home.  Which, is inconvenient, because someone over 21 has to be there to sign for it.  If you find an authorized place online to purchase it, they will let you know if it can be shipped to the location you desire.

How come regular stores cannot sell liquor and only be sold at liquor stores?

Every state is different.

Here in TN....beer can only be bought in groceries, quik shops, and I think in drug stores.

Wine and liquor can only be sold in liquor stores and beer cannot be sold in them.

I think there are also still some dry counties where no liquor can be bought, and I know there are some where liquor cannot be bought by the drink.

In FL, NE, IL....all can be bought in grocery stores.

In NC, beer and wine is in the grocery...but liquor must be bought in an ABC store.

Here in VA, liquor must be sold in a separate store. Beer and wine are sold at retailers like grocery stores, walmart, etc...

Go to Missouri.  Liquor is sold in the foyer of churches, day care dayrooms, hospital gift shops, on public transportation, lemonade stands, etc.  24/7.

Texas:  Some places you can buy alcohol and some you can't.  Some cities/district/counties will sell beer and wine.  Others will have a special to sell liquor.  Liquor stores can sell beer and wine.  Sometimes you have to drive a long while to find a liquor store, because it is very restricted.  We make special trips.  You cannot buy liquor on Sunday, but now that most of the Blue Laws are repealed, you can buy beer and wine on Sunday, after 12.

I live in a "dry" area.  100 yards from me is the nearest "wet" boundary line.  It is mindless and backwards.  Texas is the way it is because of "Big Liquor".  Take Dallas, for instance.  "Big Liquor" doesn't want "Big Grocery" to be able to sell Barcardi rum on aisle 6.  What would happen to Centennial Liquors?  Dolphin Rd.?  Harry Hines?  Industrial Blvd.?

Our liquor stores are closed on Sundays too.

You can buy liquor by the drink on Sundays after noon. I don't know if there's a time limit in the grocery stores for beer. I do know that I always get carded though! :-) :-) :-)  :rotf:

Deb, in TX they have to card if they think you look within 10 years of 21.  I ain't complaining.  But it did take a bit of steam out of my kettle when I figured out they weren't questioning whether or not I was under 21, but 31.

There's a suburb of Chicago called Elk Grove Village that mandates that everyone buying alcohol must be carded.  I stopped at a grocery store on the way home from work one day and they were carding a guy in front of me who had to be 70+.

Texas has some of the most ass-backwards alcohol laws.  We could buy kegs near campus until 9 pm.  If we wanted one after 9, we'd have to drive to Burleson.  Same way with Sundays, kegs weren't available at all.

We were driving just past the east Dallas suburbs on our way to Kilgore, and wanted to stop and get some beer for the trip.  Whatever town we stopped in on I-20 said they were a dry county.  We asked how far we'd have to drive until it was wet.  The clerk said either five miles back or 100 miles ahead.  We turned around and drove the 5 miles back. :-)

Yeah, Boo's Liquor in Terrell is about the last place until Gregg County.

We actually drove to Oklahoma one Sunday morning to get beer, since TX doesn't sell before noon.  Or at least they didn't back then.

Ew.  3.2 Oklahoma beer. 

When they changed the drinking age in Texas from 19 to 21, just mere months before my 19th birthday, my friends and I decided it was just as easy to drive 3 hours to Shreveport.  They didn't care how old we were.  That was still easier than trying to buy anything in Texas, legally.   

Boos in Terrell?  I thought there was a place in Van to buy beer?  Or maybe it was after Van.  I just thought it was further than Terrell.

I tried to buy some cases of beer, to take back to OK in Arlington, on Sunday at around 11:30 and they wouldn't sell back in July. I thought they were like OK and the no-sales hours were between midnight and 8 a.m.
