Come on, 'fess up. Who here has clicked on something and bought it when drunk...?
I just spotted a $275 purchase of raffle tickets I did last night to win a $10k bike. I meant to choose the 5 tickets for $55 option but chose that option x5..... Yikes. Fortunately, they sorted it and I don't have to explain this to SWMBO.
I signed up for an Ironman, once.
Bought an S-type Jag.
Had no idea the morning after until my housemate told me.
Got a good price on it mind. 😆
Lapdances.
I bid £600 on a charity auction to go for beers with an England Rugby player at a Christmas party last weekend and promptly won....was not feeling great when I'd sobered up the next day....I'm skint as it is!!!
On a night out a few weeks ago googly eyes came up in conversation. I purchased a pack of 2000 googly eyes in assorted sizes on amazon. These have come in very handy in the office over the Christmas period.
A one kilogramme ingot of pure copper... does make a great paperweight!
An inbred frame on here, (not a lot of money, but It was money I really couldn’t afford at the time) even had the chance to bail out of it the morning after, but I didn’t want to lose face.
lapdances
Nope, none of those. None at all.
Lol, I have to laugh at this post. Found myself in this situation last night, £200 for new cycling shoes is cheap at 1 in the morning
CX race entry. Resulted in me also needing a CX bike.
A handmade backgammon set
Return flights to the UK from Oz
Following on from Aphex about $50 on raffle tickets and shouting about $200 of food for some brewer mates as they were contributing beer - not a month where that was sensible
A Land Rover Defender.
... I wonder if the reserve is over €9000...
Oh, it is.
A trials bike, with an engine and everything.
I’m banned now. In no specific order, a RS4 (!) in my defence I’d sold my company and had been on the bubbles, saw it, bought it. A painting that is frankly shite. A driving experience thing which was alright and most recently a 2 night stay at glen eagles with a M5 to drive there, golf etc which actually was a bargain but not exactly on the fiscal plan!
Oh and 2 bikes or part bikes. One almost fits me....
A donner kebab
ElShalimo - MemberA donner kebab
I've evolved so highly that the half eaten kebab I wake up with on my pillow is now a chicken shish.
Go drunk sbob! 😀
This arrived the other day.
I'm still not entirely sure how it happened but I have a vague recollection.

I checked my e-mails one morning and discovered I'd bought a canoe from amazon whilst drunk the night previous. Another time a packet came through my letterbox and when I opened it, it was the Greatest Hits of Slade. Which I have no recollection of ordering.
Bobario the canoe is brilliant!
A drum kit.
Beat that
Badum tish
A "spare" rx8 to match my other one... Bid £250 and won because it was listed wrong. Realised it was going to cost £200 to get it to my house and fessed up and told the guy about his error so he was happy to relist and forget my purchase
Having never been drunk a day in my life, these are well and truly hilarious!!
A yacht.
Put a cheeky bid on a GRP folkboat with newish sails. Only went and "won" it.
Bloody brilliant boat
My mate reminded me he bought a turbo trainer from America. Trainer was cheap, the $180 of postage wasn’t
Enve wheels...
Honestly, drunk shopping is probably what keeps the carbon wheelset industry going, as the prices are ludicrous! I’m amazed how many are out there! They are ace though 😆
Tan wall tyres - 😳
Talking about an album I really liked in the pub one night, the consensus was "that's not their best work, this is." When I got home at like midnight or something I ordered the CD.
Got up the next morning, and the box was through the letterbox. I couldn't for the life of me work out how a CD we'd been talking about the previous night had miraculously appeared the next morning, I thought I was being eavesdropped by Google or Facebook or something.
Day before yesterday, a Worx pressure washer and two pairs of Adidas Terrex cross trainers.
Bloody PSA's!
A slam man
Booked a night on hotel.com for somewhere I did not want to go. Did not go either.
Few years ago I meant to stick a bid of £123 for an old Alfa on ebay just to keep an eye on it as you get outbid notifications etc on your phone, knew it would go for more so was purely just to keep a wee eye on it.
A week passes and I forgot about it till I found out I won it, seems I bid £1234 by mistake... The seller phones me up almost instantly as the notifications pop up on my phone as well to talk turkey as I'm still getting a grasp of what is happening.
It ran ok enough for 3 years as well, till it turned in to a a rustbucket and was scrapped, worked out alright.
A Gibson SG which I've hardly played.
The other night a went out with other cyclists I know for our usual annual drinks.
I was persuaded to sell a hard tail Ive built this year I then came home and spent the funds on a new XC race bike.
I don't have any intention to race XC. Ever.
A Fender Strat Delux which I've hardly played.
A shitty 1990s Carrera Road bike which I've hardly ridden on accounts of already having a nice 1990s road bike.
Both cheap though on account of them ending around midnight on Ebay.
I'm just about to buy a porsche cayenne and I'm not drunk. After reading the horror stories about the engine reliability I think I need to be!
Pff, amateurs; I bought a house in US Murder Capital, Flint Michigan, complete with a bunch of homies in gang colours looking casually dangerous
A snip at £700
A Glasgow corporation double decker bus sits in the yard at work courtesy of our sales manager e-bay and southern comfort, and yes he has the license and insurance to drive it
Whilst in a "coffee" shop in Amsterdamn I slapped a cheeky bid on a rebreather and won it.
Laughing @jivehoneyjive I’ve been to Flint MI a couple of times and you overpaid by many times!!
Mostly flights.. think the most expensive was a flight to South Sumatra. Can't remember any though else in particular..

did you get the idea looking at a bong?
Im tempted right now by a KTM Motegi alpinestars leather jacket in sale!
Bought a really rare Park vintage guitar amp for a fare wedge of cash.
Drunk, at 1am off ebay.
Phoned my mate who is an expert at these things. he said " Yes, theres hardly any as they're shit and no one bought them, thats why they're rare"
Lost a wack re-selling it.
I dont even play guitar 🙁
Not drunk but very hungover after a lot of cash and carry own brand gin. A 1972 MGB GT. As my only car for my 25,000 mile/year commuting requirements. For more money than I've spent on a car before or since. Paid for on terms that meant I then needed to continue driving it as my only car for the next 6 years.
I think we have a winner!
A couple of years ago I spotted a very nice new MTB frame on ebay listed by a bike shop at a decent price. Made a really cheeky offer that just happened to expire on Christmas day evening. I expected a counter offer but heard nothing until to my surprise the offer was accepted with minutes to go. I did wonder if the Christmas spirit was flowing.
Not actually a purchase but waking up on a Sunday and having a flash back , quickly logging into betting account then having to watch Chelsea at home to Villa a game I had no prior interest in to see if Villa were really good value as a kind mate kept saying at 7 to 1 for my biggest ever single bet of £150. I’ve never bet since
^ was a about £1,000 and this was £150 delivered

Not strictly a purchase but the original Big Bike Bash held in my back garden was dreamt up and launched during the same bottle of Leffe

6 years....I'd have given it 6months tops....6weeks if it was post 1980.....
If anyone wants to sell on any of those drunken Strats or SGs for a bargain price to a good home - PM me!

I'm up for a sale or swap. I'll need to check exactly which of the million variations of model my SG is when I get home in a month (its a '61 reissue though)
jivehoneyjive - MemberPff, amateurs; I bought a house in US Murder Capital, Flint Michigan
I call bullshit.
Everyone knows Santa Carla is the murder capital of the world.
Just bought some bars for the road bike, bit reasonably priced and I got cashback so not sure it really counts.
Not particularly drunk, but managed to buy a trampolining session for an adult & a toddler on Groupon without even taking my phone out of my pocket... Stupid fingerprint reader unlock!

That was the 80s you dingbat... the vampires became considerably more peacful after the stakes were raised.
Truth be told, I didn't know that Flint was set to be the most violent city when I bought the house; I used a zip code search engine which showed a massive amount of statistics, from percentages of people who finished high school, to average rents and standards of sanitation.
The Zip Code I ended up with wasn't particularly violent, but in my inebriated state, I forgot to check google streetview... the next day when I'd sobered up and the Ebay Auction had finished, I discovered the homies in gang colours I refer to in my original post.
Sure enough, if you type in '906 East York Ave, Flint, MI' into google maps, then do the time slider thingy with streetview, you should what was for a while at least, my very own crackhouse.
A week in Yugoslavia from a mate one night. We flew out the next morning, so it seemed prudent just to carry on drinking through the night. Got to the airport very drunk, so we all went to the pub.... held the plane up for an hour. Carried on drinking on the plane, got there and I ambled off on my own and got on the first bus I saw with no idea where the hotel was....
Not me but a lad I used to work with bought 6 tickets to Hatton Mayweather in Vegas. They were $1000 each and they were refused entry as they were very very fake
Also bought an Ironman entry. In New Zealand, with three months to ‘train’ for it.
I will soon be the proud owner of a cast iron casserole dish. Unfortunately, didn't think to check how big it is. Have a feeling it's going to be like the Stonehenge scene from Spinal Tap. Either that, or next drunk purchase might be a much larger oven.
followed by a new kitchen, then a new house 😉
Also race entries for me. Now you may think running and boozing don't go together...and you would be right.
Drum kit, and on a later occasion some new cymbals for aforementioned drum kit.
I must also add that I bought the Lego Saturn V after about 4-5 post-exam pints, after "accidentally" walking past the Lego store in Leicester Square.
