    Shopping online is the easiest way to get what you want when you want it, delivered to your door.

    Add a shot or six of tequila, and a smartphone with a shopping app, and you’re on your way to being the proud owner of something you don’t remember buying.

    Listen, it’s far more common than you think.

    Tech and business newsletter The Hustle surveyed more than 2 000 alcohol-drinking adults about their online shopping behaviour, reports Mashable.

    On average, shoppers in the United States had spent more than $400 (R5 778) buying stuff online while drunk.

    If you apply that number beyond the respondents to include America’s legal alcohol-drinkers, you get roughly $48 billion on drunken purchases every year.

    Most of that money is going to Amazon. Based on the survey, 85 percent of drunk shoppers visit and make ill-advised purchases Amazon, followed by Ebay at 21 percent, and then Etsy at 12 percent. After drinking either beer, wine, or liquor, clothing is the most alluring (and popular) purchase.

    When ‘I bet I’ll look amazing in that’ turns out to be a bad life choice.

    The ease of using online shopping apps sure makes it even easier to buy things when your inhibitions are down. From a South African perspective, this could be particularly dangerous if you drunk-order from overseas, and then have to navigate the complicated world of customs and VAT duty.

    That’s a hangover you won’t get over any time soon.

    If you want to order from overseas, but don’t want to deal with all of the hassles, Postbox Courier will take care of you.

    You’ll have to deal with the headache on your own.
