Buying booze online

You can save a few bucks per bottle, which is quickly eaten by shipping. It comes down to availability. If you can get what you want locally, do it! If there are things you can't get that you really want, ship it.

Just had another thought (I shouldn't surf so shortly after awakening): Make sure WA allows it, and how they handle it. I know they are fairly restrictive on tobacco.

An easy way to do this in advance is go to several mail order sites and see if they ship there.

Absolutely right. I work for a wine shop with a website, and there are numerous states which do not allow adult bevrages of any sort to be shipped, at least from out of state. Also, though wine is often allowed, there are more strict restraints on both beer and liquor. We once got into trouble shipping brandy from NJ to Delaware, until we objected that brandy was a fortified wine, and not a liquor.
