I have gotten in to some stupid bidding wars on ebay when drunk but thankfully was always too drunk to actually win.
The wine God blesses me!

But not the batsuit.

no sir..

I've only been very drunk and on the internet once I think, which resulted in me signing up for Adult Friend Finder. "There's girls in Dun Laoghaire who want to f*ck you" is a very appealing ad to see if you're young, drunk, dumb and horny.

There were no girls

The Backwards Man

I've booked a fair few holidays when drunk, New York, Malta, Iceland, Vegas a few times.

Also a NUFC season ticket. Three times

wow .. you must have been really really..

You must be batsuit crazy.

I've only ever bought airline tickets online and considering the amount of times I've ticked a box and paid for something I didn't need while sober, I'd hate to think of the damage I'd do drunk.

Corpus Twisty

Cars, generally. The "out of sight" yard is full of POS I've bought while locked. "Ohh..a 1980's Toyota...I must have it.." No -no you don't want it..it might be a classic, but no one else thinks it is, you tool...

LOL. I'm always buying stuff on Amazon drunk.

Latest thing I treated myself to was a cordless hoover. You mean I can hoover the stairs with no cord to almost trip over? I'm having that I thought.

Itt's called a SuperVac no less. It arrives tomorrow.

Drunk shopping, i've been very good lately due to the fact i don't drink very often anymore, but my last 2 purchases were not the worst, with one being an awesome purchase. That was a bluetooth LED bulb, which is now in my sitting room with the light color, intensity and function (flashing, fading, etc) all controlled from my phone. Really handy and pretty cool for parties.

The other purchase was a couple of years ago, bought 4 of these babies, Happy Kitchen Burger Kit. It's a Japanese snack where you make burgers with cheese and ketchup, fries and cola, all from powder using just water and a mircowave... As you can imagine, they weren't that nice. Made it one night while highly inebriated, took me over an hour (took me 10 minutes sober) and i nearly puked after it. Bad purchase...

MonkeyTennis

That looks vile!

BattleCorp

I was the highest bidder on egun.de for a handgun that isn't legal for me to licence in Ireland.

Next evening after I discovered what I had done, I grew a huge beard, fled into the mountains, built a log cabin, and adopted an orphan bear cub and called him Ben. Only two people know where I live, Mad Jack and a native American called Nakoma.

Let me know when the coast is clear.

That sounds deadly...is it??



Emm never bought anything while drunk...as reading the card numbers is too much hassle when drunk.....but did buy plane tickets with the wrong return date before when hungover....cost e180 to fix as I didn't cop until I was getting ready to print them at the cousins flat :O

Went onto Just Eat one night after a massive feed of pints...very drowsy now. Wanted some food. Everything seemed delicious so I clicked the + sign next to most of the items to add them to my checkout thinking I'd decide later what I actually wanted. However when I actually found what I wanted I clicked checkout without unticking the other stuff and ordered off my card which is saved into my account along with my address and number..very handy. A few clicks and it's done. Click confirm and I'm buzzing. I even get a call 5 mins later confirming "did you order this food" as well as confirming the delivery address.

A good while later the door bell rings and there's two lads with about four bags each of food and they hand them all to me. I'm still hammered so I just giggle, still clueless...The lads see the state I am in and are laughing away and I'm laughing too, but for other reasons. They leave and I'm sat there by the front door with a rake of bgs full of greasy greatness. I eat a kebab and some chicken before I konk out leaving tonnes of food uneaten. The damage...nearly 150 euro

I don't drink, but I've impulsively bought a lot of Kindle books in the middle of the night, as a result of insomnia.

ArtyM

Domain names.
I get drunk and I get great ideas (there is a strong possibility that they are not actually that great)
11 Months later I get a notification about the impending renewal of the domain name I didn't even know I owned.

PTH2009

I bought a Bluetooth smart watch off Pigsback for 36 Euro and it's a heap of ****. Only lasts about 3 hours fully charged.

Badly Drunk Boy

I just did a bit of impulse/rushed online shopping. I saw that I was running low on something in the kitchen earlier, so half an hour ago, I decided to see if there were many delivery slots with Tesco Online before Christmas. The only time that suited was 8-10 pm tomorrow so I started shopping. A few minutes in to it, a pop-up appeared saying that I had only until 0.01 am to checkout, so I bunged a load of stuff on before checking out at midnight.

It wasn't a drunken purchase since I haven't had any alcohol in over 4 months, but over a third of the €150+ I just spent was on alcohol. The thing is...I didn't even get the thing that inspired me to do the shopping. Still can't remember what it was.

When I eventually break my alcohol drought, I'll be able to use the alcohol tester I got a few months ago.

A boat and a car.

Although I won't say it was a bad thing. Had the car for 5 years and still have the boat and use it every weekend in the summer

I often take fashion inspiration when drunk and go home and find similar top/bag/shoes I saw someone wearing and order them.

Or cat toys. Too many cat toys.

I barely get the key in the door most nights, I'd have no chance typing in my credit card details

Canada, for three days to have sex with my ex. Booked on Thursday night, left Saturday morning, called in sick to work on Monday, thought I'd make work Tuesday straight off the plane but obviously that was a non runner, so I missed Tuesday too.


Totally worth it too, no regraaats man, not a single one

A fellow boardsie just out of nowhere brought me down on an all expenses trip to Other Voices in Dingle. So on pure impulse last night I purchased two tickets to Glen Hansard in Germany so I could go visit him and bring him in return. Now have to work out some flights. Argh.

A watch. A €5K watch.

Yeah, it's excellent so far. This was the infomercial I seen when drunk.

It also doubles as a hand held mini vacuum (the middle section is removable) and so perfect for hoovering the car, stairs, biscuit crumbs from your bed etc.

Have owned some of those 9v cigarette lighter powered ones over the years but they were all generally useless.

Normal, non-infomercial review here:

Oh my sweet summer child. Paypal already HAS my credit card details. As does Amazon. No need for numbers, just that same old password that I use in too many places.....

If you're drunk and fancy buying shoite just use aliexpress instead of ebay or amazon. At least you'll spend dollars, not hundreds.

My most recent was a darth vader keyring. His eyes light up. There's also a button on his head that makes an annoying really loud buzzing noise for some reason.
Cost less than a dollar. Showed up two months later at work.
