I found it helpful for getting unique ingredients that weren't at my nearby liquor store or when I didn't have access to a car. Delivery is surprisingly inexpensive, esp when compared to the price of a few bottles. I used it a few times out of convenience, never for a drunken re-up lol.
Yeah I live downtown and use delivery all the time because it's way less hassle/stress/time than me taking transit or spending 5 minutes just to get my car out of my garage and going down the street then another 15-25 to drive the 2-3 miles one-way to get there with no parking, so another 5 minutes at least looking for that.
It's really annoying when delivery comes up here or on reddit and 90% of the comments are from people who live in the suburbs, or obscenely frugal and that drive everywhere telling everyone else that they should "stop supporting delivery companies they're gouging you." Like, no kidding. It's convenience. And some people are disabled, no cars, disposable income, etc.
If they lived where I lived with no car they would be absolutely mind blown at how much of a pain in the ass and how long it actually takes to go to my pharmacy (3.5 miles away, 20 minutes one way via car, 45-60 bus, I'm in a food desert) and back without their cars. And a huge portion of the population has to deal with that to pick up prescriptions, groceries, etc. I WFH and I have to schedule 2 hours off work every 2 weeks to drive *4* miles to get my haircut (cuts about 35 mins, drives about 30 minutes one way) and I still come back 10-20 minutes late all the time.
I'll happily pay the $5-15 extra to not deal with any of it.

I wonder what sort of interactions you have with people potentially so drunk that they possibly needed a re-up
