BOSTON, MA (January 5, 2021) – Drizly, the nation’s largest alcohol e-commerce marketplace, announced today that its on-demand delivery service is now available in Atlanta.

Drizly goes live in Atlanta after forming partnerships with some of the city’s best-known adult beverage retailers, making delivery in under 60 minutes available to the 4.4 million adults of legal drinking age within the city and surrounding suburbs.
