Now that the "cancel order" button can be clicked at the first hint of buyer's remorse, Etsy may be sabotaging an important part of the online retail economy, the phenomenon of drunk shopping.

I propose if only for this reason, the button should be removed.

I love to get packages of things I had forgotten I ordered!

Ooh I've gotten my fair share of drunk purchases, not on Etsy but at local shows. I hope they still liked what they bought afterward D;

At least make the button harder to find.

They would have to be drunk to buy my stuff! LOL

Or high buying? I hear my paintings look great when under the influence of a number of different intoxicants...

Oooh, I could use a couple of those buyers! ;)

Guilty as charged! I know I used to do that a lot before I quit drinking. Nothing like a late night Pinot Grigio induced shopping spree in my underwear!
