"......all those nifty plastic boxes to hide out in"

EASTON, Pa. — From clean underwear to razorblades, there's not much you can't have delivered these days. So, why not alcohol? Pennsylvania bars and restaurants are among the latest hoping to cash in on the booze delivery business.
According to the The Express-Times of Easton, several restaurants across the state have been working for permission to deliver beer with their takeout food. Now, a recent Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board ruling has essentially given them the go-ahead. Establishments just have to get a transporter-for-hire license, which requires training and an application process.
"People have been asking for years," Pennsylvania bar owner Mike Gilbert told The Express-Times. "They ask, jokingly and not jokingly, 'Can I get a six-pack or a 12-pack delivered with my pizza?'"

"......all those nifty plastic boxes to hide out in"
Yeah it makes perfect sense. That's why it's illegal in my state.
Taxi drivers in Boston will do this for you if you pay the full fare (and tip).
And yes, when I was at Domino's, people asked me to pick up a 12 pack countless times. Also countless times, people offered me a beer as a tip.
when I was a teen 60’s, liquor stores(packies) in my area would deliver and kids were always trying to figure out how to get the driver to leave the beer and take the $$ with out seeing any one..Like tell the store “I will be in the shower,money is on the back porch” and some such non sense...
Some say it worked,never tried it.Dad would a beat my a$$ if he found out and he would, I was having beer delivered to the house
In my college days (mid 80s, Virginia), the pizza parlour would deliver bottles of beer with the strombolis and pizzas on request. Beer was not allowed on campus, but it was delivered in an innocent looking brown bag with the food. Driver would get a better than average tip for his efforts.

I love Stromboli s, not the beer so much.
Cheaper than an DUI arrest.
In Germany, there is doorstep beer delivery just like we used to experience milk delivery in the US. It’s done on a regular route for the driver. I saw it even in the American military housing areas.
Used to drink Grolsch, the stopper bottles were cool, and it tasted good...
Along these lines, a diaper service for 20-somethings seems to have good support among the target demographic.
While I was in college in the ‘60s, we would see numerous ads for “Kicks Liquor, dial ‘Raw Beef’ for delivery”. It was easy to remember, since I can still remember it a half century later. I never used their services, though. I could hardly afford to eat, much less order beer delivery.
Kind of silly to not allow it. Especially if an adult is signing for the delivery. Otherwise people are going to continue to drive to liquor stores after having had a few.
Oh,the humanity! I be visiting Thailand after an R&R in 69!
Back in my college days you couldn’t buy beer at a regular store in Pa. You had to go to a “distributor” or buy a 6 pack at a bar. As a social chairman my job was to make sure we had enough beer. Call the distributor in the morning, leave the check on the pool table and the refrigerators would be filled with kegs by dinner (stairwells too if we were having a party).
