Pennsylvania and New Jersey love making drunken online purchases, survey shows. Tell us about yours?

Beer in one hand, phone in the other. But what happens when your intoxicated mind convinces you to open your Amazon app and press buy?

Purchases while drinking make up a larger market than you may think—a $49 billion one to be exact, according to The Hustle’s “2019 drunk shopping census” which surveyed over 2,100 of its readers online. The respondents were self-referred, which means the numbers are likely skewed toward people with experiences. They also tended to be higher income than average, slightly more male than females and in their mid-30s.

The online news service found that 79 percent of respondents made a purchase under the influence, and New Jersey was one of the top states for intoxicated purchases, with the average citizen spending $600-$699 per year. Pennsylvania wasn’t too far behind at $400-$499.

Not known is how many shoppers returned their purchases afterwards.

So, what’s your story? Have you made a buy while buzzed? If so, the Inquirer wants to hear from you for a story about the people of Greater Philadelphia’s strangest purchases while drinking.
