Booze On-Demand: House Lawmakers Can Now Order Liquor Straight to Their Offices

Courtesy of Capitol Hill’s newest caterer, Sodexo, Members of the House of Representatives may now order beer, wine, and spirits directly to their offices.

“Wine and beer was often available at catered receptions on Capitol Hill,” tweeted Fox News Channel’s Chad Pergram. “But now booze can go directly to a Member’s office.”

This new service is made possible by a rule change that was quietly approved by the House Administration Committee last week. The amendment to the “House Liquor Rule” now permits “the delivery of wine, beer, and spirits to a Member’s office” so long as the alcohol is for “personal consumption only,” and not for resale or gifts.

The liquor must also be delivered by a licensed vendor who uses “sealed containers” and delivers the alcohol “directly to the office of the Member.”
