Some people get into fights when they have too much to drink, while others turn engage in some online retail -- which is why the enabling app Drunk Shopping exists. Described as "the shopping experience that delights in sloppy judgement," the new app suggests "dope products" you should buy yourself.
To use the Drunk Shopping service, simply text their designated phone number 'heyyyyyy' on Saturday at 2am. They respond with something you can buy your future sober self. The subscription doesn't cost anything, but if you decide to go through and buy whatever they are promoting that week, your bank account will still take a hit.
It's only a matter of time before the antithesis of this app comes out, preventing you from racking up your credit card bill on weekends.
