The beer pong never has to stop again, in Seattle at least. Amazon, in a bid to truly win our hearts, is now delivering booze to Amazon Prime customers there, according to a Fortune report. 

For the first time ever, customers in Seattle, where Amazon is based, can order beer and liquor of all sorts through the Prime Now app. It's $7.99 for one-hour delivery, but free if you can wait two hours.

Hopefully this means Amazon is thinking about eventually rolling out this feature in all the places where Prime Now same-day delivery is currently available on other stuff (San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, Indianapolis, New York City, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Boston and Philadelphia).

Add this news together with the GeekWire report that the company is testing out hot food delivery in a bid to compete with Grubhub, and these dudes are obviously trying to take over the world.

Because if you're in a position where you're ordering one-hour delivery of a case of Miller Lite at 1 a.m., you're definitely going to need some Taco Bell delivered shortly thereafter.
