Yes, it does depend on state, but it still has to be from licensed shippers as I understand it.

It does indeed depend on the state -- specifically, as I recall, the state to which the alcohol is sent/delivered. It has to do with (surprise, surprise) taxes and regulation of sales -- in some states, only the state can sell certain types of alcohol (such as scotch); in other states, sales are more heavily regulated than in others. Usually, though, I have heard of the issue arising from orders, like someone living in State A ordering wine from State B.

I heard on the news the other day that currently 24 (I think) states allow alcohol to be home-delivered from another state.

Yes, but, I wonder if it was not declared as such and having talked to the person who was to get it, something was amiss here!

Now, the plot thickens, where is the Scotch Whisky? Who Got it? Where did it go?

Watson, the plot thickens!
