Special Home Delivery: How To Get Your Drink On During This Pandemic
I don’t know about you, but some of my favorite pastimes are attending a good happy hour or cute bottomless brunch on a Sunday with friends. Since restaurants and bars around the country have shut down in response to the untimely events of the Coronavirus pandemic, virtual happy hours have since become part of our lives if we want to have any remanence of human interaction. Often times, especially since most people are working from homes at this time, this is the only form of socialization outside of the workweek.
To prevent frequent liquor store runs and maintaining proper social distancing techniques, check out this list below of alcoholic delivery services that can bring the wine, beer, and mixers to your doorstep. Prepare for your next virtual drink sesh with your friends, the safe way!
