Overview

Mission

Founded in 2023, the adult beverage alliance is a not-for-profit organization and functions as a thought leader at the intersection of e-commerce and the retail beverage alcohol industry. This mission is to support innovation in alcohol policy to better serve adult consumers in a more safe, responsible and effective manner.

What it reported doing in 2024

The third program accomplishment was planning government relations projects in various states in which alcohol delivery bills were being considered by state legislatures. These projects enabled the five member organizations to understand the publicly discussed draft bills. The projects resulted in alliance strategies for communicating the alliance's perspecives on each bill during the upcoming 2025 public policy sessions on the delivery bills. The output of this program was representation at legislature sessions in six states.
