Brits spend an average of £142 shopping online while drunk, new figures show, with lobster pots and diving equipment among the bizarre items people have ordered.
Nearly one-in-five consumers admitted they have bought items via the internet while intoxicated, with a quarter spending between £100 and £200, and almost one-in-20 splashing out more than £500 on their credit or debit cards.
Most drunken sprees (53pc) take place on Amazon, with clothes being the most popular purchase, according to a survey of 2,000 people by price comparison website Confused.com. However, 18pc have booked a holiday after a drinking session and 6pc have bought a new television or phone.
While 22pc used their phone, tablet or PC to buy more mundane items such as DVDs and CDs, a few Brits made some bizarre shopping decisions. One person bought 10 lobster pots while drunk, while others snapped up a pie maker from a shopping channel, diving equipment, a folding ladder and a washing machine.
However, Confused.com warned that, with a Bank Holiday on August 25, people could celebrate the extra day off by going to the pub, with subsequent drunken purchases leading to financial issues in the future.

I'm not drunk enough to say it, but I bet someone is
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
