Mass. liquor store offering home delivery

BEVERLY, Mass. – A Beverly liquor store is worried that hard times might keep many costumers out of the store. So, now ChrisPy's liquor store offers home delivery. Owner Chris Palazola said he began offering home delivery last month to boost business during the slow economy. For $5 ($2.50 for senior citizens), he'll take your order and deliver it to your house in his own car.

Palazola also brings along a handheld device to scan customer's driver's license for buyer's age.

Frank Anzalotti, executive director of the Massachusetts Package Stores Association, said home delivery is a rarity among liquor stores.

Palazola said the smallest order so far has been for a 12-pack of beer, but he'd deliver a nip if someone wants it.

Or you've just run out of booze but you're too drunk to drive. Brilliant idea if you ask me.

We have a similar service here called Dial-a-Drink, its quite expensive but very handy at 4 in the morning when the alcohol runs out. They do cigarettes and crisps also.

I have the number in my phone, but have never resorted to using it yet. I'll need it someday I'm sure

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Despite that service, Newcastle still remains a shithole.

I thought every place had something like this? My city does and they don't ID you as long as you tip them.
