Ah ha, finally see where beer is mentioned: "While the ruling only involves wine sales, industry groups expect it will soon apply to beer and other alcoholic beverages now regulated through state-licensed wholesalers and retailers." I'd go off the wall if they didn't include beer. I also go nuts when I hear the people complain that allowing it will set the battle of underage drinking backwards. There are tons of other things done on the internet that have age restrictions. And they still require a signature upon delivery! Plus how many 18 year olds are willing to buy more expensive alcohol and pay for shipping when they can pay someone's brother $5 to pick up a 30 pack?
