Not me.  If I'm drinking I'm not on a computer (or my phone) to buy stuff online and I sure as f*ck ain't driving to stores.

Never had an issue with this. I tend to plan out my purchases. I'm not so good with impulse decisions.

With me its synthesizers and...another substance, but yes. I can imagine it being a real problem. It never has been though.

Haven't been drunk for about 5 or 6 years. Last time I was I ordered an adult channel that promised "discreetness ". Next day they call the house to ask if I'm enjoying the service and the wife answers.
NEVER AGAIN

I've always been prone to binge buy small video game purchases when drunk. Now I stay off the phone and computer when I'm drinking.

Not video games, but I remember myself being in a pub 3 years ago and buying an old Lego Space Police II heavy spaceship from the early 90s, via eBay.

I don't regret it.

Oddly enough, the only things I ever drunk buy are thing that I've been putting off.

Example- I had needed a couple new charging cables & an aux cable for my phone.
I was out at the bar waiting for my friends to come back inside and boom, ordered.

I do something similar to this, except it's more of a mental list of games that I say I am not going to buy due to price... then go into 'f*ck it' mode and buy them when under the influence of stuff.

Woo, glad I am not alone then...

I don't drink and buy often but when I do, especially during sales like the steam sale going on currently sometimes I just flip a blind eye to the bank account and go to town.

However my purchases are typically low cost sale games, there has been a couple times I am sure where I have spent a good amount on something I just had to have at that moment.

In the end I am never driving obviously, but surfing on the computer or on the phone or showing my brothers cool stuff and stumble upon something ... etc.

I do the same kind of thing. I'm such a cheapskate that's its a bit relieving to get a couple small things when drinking

My wife is going to kill me when she finds out I bought $80 worth of Neogeo controllers on the bay. Bad time to be drunk buying.

I used to do this occasionally but rarely anymore since I don't drink as much anymore.  Maybe I will again now that the second kiddo is born. 

Anymore I just set snipes and wait to see if I won or lost a week later.
