Don't drink and click, internet shoppers are warned... as drunk purchases are usually unwanted the morning after

Most drink-fuelled shopping is done between 11pm and 1am
One in seven admit they wouldn't have bought their drunk purchase if sober

Almost half of Britons have shopped online after drinking, often falling asleep or having to abandon a transaction, new research showed today.

Now consumers are being urged not to 'drink and click' after one in seven admitted buying something they never would when sober, with many sending it back immediately.

More than half of online shoppers also spent more when tipsy - if they managed not fall asleep while purchasing.

In a survey of more than 4,200 consumers, showed the most popular items bought online by 'boozy' shoppers were clothes and shoes, DVDs, books, video games, technology and lingerie.
And although over half remembered shopping online the morning after, almost 20 per cent said they only realised they'd made the purchse the following day.

While seven per cent had to be told by their friends or family that they had been purchasing while drunk.
Scottish shoppers were the most likely to drink and click.
Scots have spent £503million this year so far (on average £265 per person), compared the the UK average of £246 each.
Shopping comparison website Kelkoo said most drink-fuelled shopping is done between 11pm and 1am, although one in five makes purchases up to 5am, the survey showed.

Chris Simpson, of Kelkoo, said: 'Online shopping has become a daily part of Brits' lives and people are taking advantage of being able to shop at any time of the day, whether at home in bed, on the move, or in bars and restaurants.

'Our research shows that while people shopping under the influence of alcohol could spell good news for those on the receiving end of gifts, we'd always advise shoppers to think carefully when making purchases and remember that they are able to use retailers' returns policies if they realise afterwards that they've purchased unwanted items.'

i think you are in the wrong forum! these sorts of findings don't concern us because, as Muslims, we are not allowed to drink alcohol in the first place.
