Once I was waiting for a drink at a wedding bar and a guy starts going on and on about what a mess his startup is. Finally he asks "so what do you do?" I said I was a startup reporter and the poor guy looked v sick.

Congrats to Drizly on its acquisition!https://t.co/LKp6GlQzhp

As recently as 2019 I had a liquor journalist ask me "why would people ever buy alcohol online?" Execs asked the same thing.

Industry folks still brush off e-comm as a fad, while outsiders are embracing the internet, building new logistics networks, + quietly eating their lunch.

This is an incredibly smart acquisition.

For those that don’t know: Uber Eats eclipsed ridesharing this year as the primary driver of revenue within the company ($1.21B vs. $790M). With last mile being a logistical nightmare for many, expanding their repertoire here makes sense. https://t.co/EOQpcWgYB7
