Is it legal to include alcohol in my personal shopping business?
I am opening a personal shopping business. Customers will go to my website, pick out items they like, and once paid for, I will pick them up and deliver them to the customer’s home. Most of the items will be grocery items, but is it legal to include alcohol in my deliveries?

Under the laws of all states in this country it is illegal to purchase alcohol for a minor. What you have written may open you up to violating state law. With that being said you should have a disclaimer about not purchasing alcohol for a client or some signed form by a client stating they are over 21 years of age with appropriate identification to back such up.
