Doordash Expands Alcohol Delivery

Food delivery platform DoorDash ($DASH@US) is expanding its alcohol delivery service to 20 new states and the District of Columbia, Canada, and Australia. The service will reach 100 million adults worldwide. DoorDash is offering the service in response to a 2020 study from the National Restaurant Association that found 56 percent of customers over 21 would order alcoholic beverages if offered as a part of food delivery from a restaurant. The feature is only available to customers 21 and older and requires ID verification at checkout and again by the delivery driver at the door. The company also announced partnerships with Responsibility.org; a non-profit focused on eliminating drunk driving and underage drinking, and Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD).
