It just annoys me because I’m not going to order it and I’m abstaining from alcohol. But there’s always some “special deals” being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It’s like they’re really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.

    I’m just bouncing ideas off and not sure if it works like that, but maybe you can try creating a teen account and link it to your main one.

    Recently I noticed there’s an option to let me link teen accounts(and other adults) under a family that lets them order but pay with the primary account.

    Assuming teens won’t be able to buy alcohol, perhaps those recommendations would go away too?

    these are large industries with a lot of muscle. I’m sure the deal they struck with Uber eats doesn’t include an option to “turn off” these offers

    Often, when bringing up privacy, people say they are ok with some tracking because they’ll get more relevant ads

    But it’s so common to not be able to block products you don’t want, be it alcohol, meat products, dairy, gambling/casino games, podcasts from people you don’t want to hear from

    It’s not about getting more relevant ads, it’s about figuring out what they can best sell you. Sometimes that lines up with what you want, but you can get that benefit without targeted ads too

    Yes, you just have to remove it from my order. Unfortunately, I can’t give you access to my orders. So I guess you can’t remove those recommendations from my orders.
