Instant liquor retail is shifting alcohol purchases from planned shopping to late-night replenishment, at-home gatherings, outdoor occasions, and last-minute gifting. Publicly reported data show that around 70% of liquor instant-retail orders on Meituan Flash Buy occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., while 73% are delivered to residential communities. Liquor lightning-warehouse operations are also expanding quickly. This article does not treat “80,000 warehouses” as a universally verified current count. It treats the number as a signal of continuing expansion: for traditional liquor stores, the real challenge is not one more online channel, but a redistribution of local orders, authenticity trust, fulfillment efficiency, and consumer data.
