If you've ever held a pair of mesh overalls in your hands after an ill-fated brunch-drunk Forever21 shopping spree, you know that alcohol-inspired poor judgement can be equal parts thrilling and terrifying.

A new mobile service, straightforwardly named Drunk Shopping, hopes to hold your hand through the experience of buying something you definitely don't need, probably don't even want, but couldn't live without for five fateful minutes.

Text "heyyyyyy" -- the number of y's here is very important -- to (551) 333-7865, and you'll get a text every Saturday night with a suggestion for a really great product you can buy.

Stuff like a giant piano map that you've probably been meaning to buy, anyway. You don't purchase anything through Drunk Shopping, it just sends you a link to a third party website, so you're in danger if the week's drunk purchase suggestion happens to be a website that already has your credit card information stored, like Amazon.

Unless you text back, "STOP," you'll continue receiving texts from the devil on your shoulder.

The good news is that, unlike all your drunk sandwich purchases, you can probably return whatever mysterious package with lamentable contents ends up at your doorstep in the middle of the week.
