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. Three years later, the company is shutting down the US-based alcohol delivery service, Axios has reported. 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.”

    Here in Australia Uber and doordash both have alcohol deliveries and grocery deliveries. The core business is food. Recently I’ve noticed doordash offering alcohol too, before you’ve completed a food order. A second order for free, made at the same time. They had already offered a top up double dash, after you ordered. They’re cutting one step.
