Have you seen this? We'll deliver wine to your door.

Hesus ach christe !

For most people, like my sister, this is ideal.

For me, a death sentence.

Like I said: A death sentence.

It'll be a long time before that takes off in Ireland, most days I struggle to get enough mobile phone signal where I live for a text message, not to mention a phone call!!

There are a couple things in my state that I am glad started long after I got sober:
Liquor stores open on Sundays and then liquor sold in all stores.
I might not have survived.
Most definitely would not have survived liquor delivery.

I remember seeing the drive thru liquor places in Ohio when I visited a friend there. I am so glad I never had access to drive-thrus or delivery. I might not be alive today.

Trach, sure I would It's been years since I ate there, but it was good stuff. I think I must've been 22 years old.

I became such a valued customer to the local 'dial-a-bottle' delivery service here that they once called me wondering where I was when I sobered up for a month.......

You know you have a problem when...

Junior's Cheesecake in Brooklyn delivers. The peanut butter caramel cheesecake makes me weep.

I used to make up fake dinner parties, and even dishes so I could call the liquor store to have cases of wine delivered. "yes, do you have a nice white that would go with branzino?". Meanwhile I was sitting in my sweats eating spaghettios cold out of the can.

Back in 2001, my regular bar sent me a Christmas card signed by all the bartenders and waitresses. I remember joking with a co-worker then, "Do you think this means I have a problem?"

I was going to my first AA meetings seven months later.

Back in Canada, I became drinking buddies with the 'dial a bottle' delivery guy. I'd always invite him in for a drink each time.

Here, I don't think there is such a thing as a liquor license, or if there is, it must only cost $10 and take 15 mins to get. There's mom & pop shops every 100 feet almost, and every single one of them sells alcohol.

I don't think having booze delivered to my door would have caused me to drink more because I was already drinking 24/7, but it may have kept me from driving drunk to go get more.
