Back in 2021, Uber purchased Drizly for $1.1 billion shortly after it reported that its food delivery segment kept its losses manageable during the pandemic.

Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, Uber’s SVP of delivery, told the publication that the company has decided to close the business and to focus on its “core Uber Eats strategy.”
In my experience, it’s not a “show ID to the guy and he says okay” it’s “the guy is obligated to scan your ID into the doordash/Uber app to verify age”. They can’t opt to not check without getting dinged pretty heavily by Uber/doordash.
