I worked for a store that shipped wine.

But that is wine, which is allowed from a licensed supplier to a consumer. When it comes to beer or spirits, that is only allowed from one licensed supplier to another one, and is prohibited to consumer addresses. Some companies will still do this, but they risk confiscation of the shipment, as well as fines and penalties.
Thank you for your expert legal advice.


Are you certain the laws you cite are still valid in all 50 states today?
(That's o.k. I don't know either.)
