And Guido never left the house again

NEW JERSEY - Beginning this fall, people living in New Jersey will be able to get a bottle of wine, beer, or whatever their drink of choice is without leaving the comfort of their home. 

The state's Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control announced Friday the approval of a new rule that will allow bars, restaurants, and liquor stores to use third-party delivery services like DoorDash and Instacart to deliver alcohol.

  1. When I was a very young kid living in Bergen County NJ, my dad had a part time job delivering liquor from a local liquor store. They kept him busier than a one legged man trying to kick down the barn door. I was too young to realize how lucrative that business was (and how many alcoholics there are in the world). Got to meet the boxer James J. Braddock on a delivery. One of my dad's "regular" customers. Tipped well, but my dad was afraid of the man and said he had a dark side and if he snapped, he'd likely kill a person he punched. Then I moved to the driest county in Georgia in 82 and remember my dad saying guess there'll be no part time delivery of liquor here.

    1. Back in the 1950s we had a similar liquor store in my Bergen County town, Rayvet. Owner was George Dunn and the delivery guy was Johnson. They used to load up a station wagon a couple times a day to keep the town's house wives stocked up with Martini ingredients.
