Oh nice, I genuinely had no idea. When did Postmates add alcohol delivery?

Not trying to nitpick your point, asking out of genuine curiosity. Because the only reason I even started using Drizly was due to them being the only game in town for alcohol delivery circa 2016 iirc. And after good experiences with them, I didn’t really bother checking out the competitors. But it would make sense that Postmates would expand into that area as well.

I think around ~2017?

However at that point it would have just been LA and SF, Postmates usually did staged rollout of stuff like that and I don't think we did significant alcohol deliveries until ~2019 or so.
