New Business Plan

I formulated a new business plan at 11:30 p.m. last night, after a long day and marathon grading session: alcohol delivery.  What is a parent to do when the children are sleeping and faced with an empty wine rack/liquor cabinet?  CPS will come after you if you leave sleeping children to go buy booze.  Why not have the booze come to you?  Ths would be safer than the drive-thru liquor store concept that other states seem to embrace.

I realize the flaws in my plan.  In WA, the biggest flaw is the damn state run liquor store concept.  One can't by vodka at the 7-11.  So, I wouldn't be able to resell liquor out of my garage.  The stores close ridiculously early on the weekends and many are not open on Sunday.  Most people run out of alcohol after 10 p.m. 

The other glitch in my plan is to whom I would market.  I would stick with parents.  I know I could make so much money if I delivered to a college campus.  I don't want that kind of liability.  I know one person would be buying for the whole floor; I wouldn't be able to verify age and distribution.  Some nut job would sue me for alcohol poisoning because his/her innocent child/frat boy over did it with the everclear.
