I tend to be someone who over-researches a lot of the more expensive things I buy and get stuck in analysis paralysis not pulling the trigger.
So my drunk purchases tend to be me just saying '**** it, lets go with that'.

Not me, but my nephew.
A Pulp Fiction jean jacket signed by several of the cast members. It was some kind of on-line charity auction.
A buddy of mine knows one of the actors who was in it. He ended up getting another autograph on it through my buddy.

Yeah, I used to like the occasional cigar but I was anything but a connoisseur, wouldn't have been able to tell much difference between a $5 and a $75 cigar. From what I remember it was a good smoke but someone who knew their stuff way more than me would've probably appreciated it more.
Rented a Jeep, we drive a Jeep at home, the line at the return for rental cars was long as a plane had just arrived. Key West Small Airport. We went out to the rental and had a few beers we picked up on the drive from Miami. The crowd thinned out. We went back in, I dropped my fob in the box as instructed. Taxied to the hotel had a few beers, realized I had the rental fob in my pocket not my fob, ubered to the airport. Car Rental was closed. Ubered back to hotel. Woke up ubered back to airport. Waited an hour and they found my key. Walked halfway back along the beach to hotel and called an uber to take us back to the hotel. Only cost about 90 bucks but sheesh for the need of a beer on vacation.
So I'm not the only one who obsessively searches for real reviews of expensive things until you've read and watched enough reviews to make you have no idea if the thing you are buying is a piece of crap or the greatest thing ever. I feel better now.
The list of things I've gotten super invested in all the research on and then ultimately never pulled the trigger on buying anything is a long one. I can get fixated on the research process
But i can give some great advice when people end up looking for the same things
When I was at the King and Union Bar connected to the DoubleTree Inn in downtown Memphis I bought some bootleg coffee infused bourbon from the bartender that worked there. Some other ISU fans at the bar were raving about it so I tried some and drunk me thought it was good, but I was really drunk. Still haven't opened the bottle to try it when I'm sober.
What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. Unfortunately that and STDs are two things that don’t.
