Actually, several US state ban the sales of any alcohol product on the net.
Same reason as cigarettes...messed up the local distribution/tax/graft system that had been in place before the net.

Your domain hosting in Canada won't protect you from an obscenity prosecution. You have you check mailed to a US address, correct? The feds can harrass you if they want.
You live in Texas? You are on the short list of states that while go out of their way to screw you if they find out what kind of business you are doing in their 'sacred state'. The sodomy laws being overturned doesn't mean jack when they are coming after you for community obscenity standards.
Best of luck...chances are they won't mess with you. But hosting in Canada is a think legal defense to say the least.
