Amazon Prime Now

Boy, the world sure has changed. It is amazing what you can order, and have delivered to your door in an hour or two. From Amazon Prime Now

Right now the DW and I, are pretty sick cold/flu. Decided it may be time to go for the Irish cure. As in good Irish Whiskey in a hot toddy.

You may still hurt you just don't care LOL.

Jamison inbound, for three bucks more than if we (I) went to Safeway.
Including $5 tip and tax. For Amazon

And no, we don't drink much, but somehow that hot toddy sounds really good. And I for sure, don't want to go out to get it.

Just pretty amazing in my humble opinion

    Well what do you know. I guess they do deliver up in the twin cities (Minneapolis / St.Paul) I'm surprised. MN is usually a stickler for this kinda thing.

    I seem to remember some one in Northern MN that was using a drone to deliver beer to people in their fish houses out on the lake in the winter. I heard that they made him quit. Maybe I heard wrong.

    Bourbon is better.


    The Irish invented whiskey so I'll stick with Jameson.

    No, but there are a lot of fine wineries and breweries in this state!


    I am not sure that is accurate, just for fun I put in a Minneapolis zip code. It appears they do deliver Alcohol. Maybe they found a way around the law? Don't know

    You can get liquor thru Amazon? All I can pull up liquor-wise is books & bar accessories.

    And who do you tip? I wouldn't think whoever delivers would be like the pizza delivery kid. You'd tip USPS/UPS?

    BTW, it's "Jameson".


    Amazon prime and Amazon prime NOW. are two different things. Amazon prime now, to my knowledge is only available in certain zip codes,
    Tip is built into the charge, normally 5 bucks, I believe the delivery folks are amazon employees or sub contractors.

    Google amazon prime now, they have quite a bit of stuff, not just booze and food. All delivered in 1 to 2 hrs

    Try a shot of NyQuil, with a bourbon chaser.

    If you have a death wish!

    A good hot and sour soup from your local Chinese food restaurant will do the trick.
