Do You Drink Gin?

Who doesn’t like to drunkenly shop on Amazon? Most of us have probably done it. And if you are a gin drinker, you probably do it a lot. A study…

NEW YORK, NY – JUNE 12: Discarded drinks sit on a tray at Bar Convent Brooklyn, an international bar and beverage trade show at the Brooklyn Expo Center on June 12, 2018 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. An extension of Bar Convent Berlin, the trade show draws both premium brands and craft spirit brands for two days of discussions on new trends, techniques and products in the domestic and international markets. Attendees to the show can also participate in taste forums, demonstrations, keynote addresses and panel discussions with leading industry experts. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

Who doesn't like to drunkenly shop on Amazon? Most of us have probably done it. And if you are a gin drinker, you probably do it a lot.

A study by the personal finance website Finder.com found that nearly half of the 2,000 Americans they surveyed have bought stuff online while buzzed.

The Archstone Recovery Center did their own survey and found that gin drinkers spent more while drunk shopping to the tune of $82 versus the second highest drunk spenders, rum drinkers, who dropped $54 on average. Archstone admits they don't know why gin drinkers spend more, even though the beverage "has a long and storied history of being linked with extreme emotions and wild behavior."
