Online Merchants Home In on Imbibing Consumers →
After enjoying a few drinks, some people go dancing. Others order food. And for some, it’s time to shop online.
Amanda Schuster, a wine-and-spirits writer and consultant in Brooklyn, says she never shops in actual stores after drinking, but she finds it hard to resist the Web. “It feels productive in a way — like I didn’t just come home drunk and pass out, I went home and did something,” she said.
That something tends to be buying used CDs at Amazon. When an unexpected package shows up, “I try to backtrack a little bit, and I look in to my purchasing history, and I’m like, oh, yeah,” she said.
Regrets? She has a few.
“When did I get ‘Heart’s Greatest Hits’?” she said.
