Uber to Shut Down Drizly Alcohol Delivery Service

Move Comes as Part of Strategy to Consolidate Delivery Services Under Uber Eats Brand

  • Uber is shutting down Drizly, the alcohol delivery service it acquired for $1.1 billion in 2021, with plans to cease operations by the end of March 2024.
  • Uber's decision to close Drizly comes as the company aims to consolidate its delivery services under the Uber Eats brand.
  • Drizly, which operated as a standalone app, was integrated into the Uber Eats platform, offering alcohol delivery in areas where it was legal.
  • In 2020, Drizly suffered a data breach that affected 2.5 million customers, leading to Federal Trade Commission restrictions on the type of customer data the company could collect.
  • Despite the closure of Drizly, Uber Eats will continue to offer alcohol delivery in 35 U.S. states and over 25 countries globally.
