    Default Drinking and on-line shopping

    I read this article the other day that said those who browse the internet while "imbibing" spend more in on-line shopping than people who don't drink.

    It also said Gin drinkers spend more than those who drink other spirits. That explains why my bathroom vanity is full of soaps, scuttles, after shaves and brushes! Who knew?!?

    I've switched from Boodles to Jameson's when on SRP in the evenings this time around!

    Have to agree with the study personally.
    My first straight razor, from eBay, late night watching Skyfall drinking gin martinis.
    Half way through the movie there is a straight razor shave scene, sexy one at that, bam I’m online, and 5 years later, still at it.
    Sobered up a few times since then though to pay the visa.
    Hehe

    No wonder why I buy so much stuff.

    I'd hate to see what would happen if I switched from bourbon to gin

    No thank you, nope, nix, nay, nada....

    I never could develop a taste for gin, plus, if it makes you spend more ....

    I'll stick to bourbon, maybe drink a little more and spend a little less.

    Well this goes for anything and is common knowledge.

    A few years ago a Ford Dealer in town used to serve wine to gals during the final negotiations while buying a car. When they sobered up the next day they realized they signed away their bank accounts to the dealer.

    He's not in business anymore.
