Everyone's made a questionable decision while under the influence. Maybe you've texted an ex you shouldn't have or fallen asleep before brushing your teeth or taking off your makeup. It turns out that alcohol can also be costing you money. And no, it's not because drinks are expensive . A study by finder.com found that Americans spent a whopping $39.4 billion in the past year shopping while drunk. That number is a sharp rise from the year before, where Americans spent $30.43 billion. Although the amount spent drunk shopping has risen, fewer people reported shopping while drunk. While 46 percent of Americans reported shopping while drunk last year, only 26 percent did this year. This means Americans are spending more money each time they're drunk shopping (link)

So I bet those numbers would take a nose dive If they excluded Buzz's gun purchases.

I am glad I don't do that, I have done it in the past but haven't done it in awhile.

Guilty, occasionally, but I really try hard not too anymore. 'Never broke the bank, just the random stupid item. I bought a 40.00 Samba whistle from Latin Percussion last year. I have never played in a Samba band in my life. But, I've wanted a Samba whistle since I was a teenager.

It happens sometimes and is no big deal. Asking the prostitute if you can remove the condom cause it will feel better, is a questionable decision. I have an old friend who used to love to brag about how many times he had done this. I have no idea how this man is still alive. As for spending money while drunk, I just bought a pizza, put me down for 10 bucks.

Neiman's has a members club called Incircle that they would shut the entire store down on certain days and host private shopping parties. At these parties they would have free unlimited alcohol and food. I am sure they had a lot of drunk shopping, great strategy.....

Online shopping has opened up a whole new world for impaired folks. They can kick me out of the store, but they can't kick me off of their website. They're getting my money whether they like it or not!

Heh, I hate to admit... but a number of my outdoor related purchases are done late at night after a few beers or glasses of wine. I might or might not have received a package in the mail not knowing what it was and then later remembering that it was ordered under the influence
