(USGovernment-News.Com, April 24, 2016 ) Newark, NJ -- According to the Portland Press Herald, a new home delivery service for alcohol has officially started in the Portland. Drizly, a Boston-based technology firm, created the app and web-based service as a means connecting local retailers with consumers, but faced challenges when it came to state and federal laws. While Drizly provides the platform for sales and orders, the liquor and alcohol companies must complete the transactions themselves, including delivery. The service also requires face-to-face interaction for the completion of the sale, as to avoid exploitation by minors.
Even given Drizly's attempts to offer a responsible service, alcohol abuse is a serious problem affecting New Jersey and the rest of the country. Alcohol is often considered the most dangerous legal substance on the market, and this services has the potential to only worsen that problem. Rehabilitation centers across the country deal with the ramifications of alcohol abuse regularly, including those providing alcohol rehab in Newark. As one such facility, Drug Rehab Newark is concerned that this service could cause negative consequences unanticipated at it's inception.
A representative of Drug Rehab Newark comments: "While this alcohol delivery service may sound fun and innovative, the risk for misuse and abuse is substantial. Regardless of its legality, alcohol is incredibly addictive and dangerous; the ability to readily acquire alcohol at any given moment has the potential to cause problems in one's private life as well as legally and medically. While alcohol delivery can reduce the urge to drive under the influence, accidents are not the only risk involved with overindulgence of alcohol. Ideally, this service would also include order tracking and limitations to avoid contributing to the alcohol abuse problem plaguing the country."
