Four online liquor retailers are facing prosecution following a sting by Massachusetts authorities. At the direction of investigators, underage college students ordered beer, wine and alcohol from online retailers and had the booze shipped to their homes.

Three shippers - FedEx, UPS and DHL - will also face an administrative hearing for allegedly delivering the alcohol to minors, Attorney General Thomas Reilly said yesterday.
