Question 5

Does Instacart have alcohol delivery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in many states, you can purchase alcoholic beverages via Instacart and have them delivered to your home. Because each state sets its own rules for alcohol sales, be sure to choose the right type of store when shopping for your favorite alcoholic beverages. For example, in some states, supermarkets sell beer and wine only, while liquor stores sell spirits. In other states, supermarkets may sell a wider variety of alcohol types.

You can buy alcohol with Instacart if you're 21 years of age or older. Before placing your order, confirm that you can meet the ID requirements, which depend on your state and the store. For example, Instacart shoppers in many states can accept U.S. passports, but only for purchases from certain stores. When your shopper delivers your order, you must show an approved government-issued ID to prove your age. You can expect the shopper to scan your ID before completing the delivery.
