Expert Advice When You Need It Most

Can my Delaware LLC accept and display online advertising on my web portal/network from alcohol manufacturers?Is it legal in DE?

Asked almost 3 years ago - Mountain View, CA

Hi, I incorporated my startup in 2006 in Wilmington DE as a Delaware Series LLC. I'm currently living and working from home in Mountain View, CA.
I would like to offer a category on my web portal where alcohol manufacturers can advertise. Site members would select if they want to receive the ads from alcohol manufacturers. I would place a written legal disclaimer that this category is intended for users who are 21 or older. Are there any Delaware, California or U.S. federal law that forbids alcohol manufacturers from advertising on a general web portal/network?

The alcohol category would be one of many product/service categories on my mainstream web site/portal. Thanks for your help.
