Summer is coming. And with the warmer weather comes the opportunity to ditch you shoes for the ultimate in laid-back, lazy-day footwear: the flip-flop sandal.

But why be content with a normal sandal, when you can have one that distributes booze? Seriously. How else are you going to sneak your favorite whiskey onto that alcohol-free beach than by cleverly concealing it inside the polyurethane encapsulated flask in the heel of your new pair of Reefs? (Not that I would do that -- just sayin'.)

Even if you frequent a beach where drinking is condoned, isn't it worth drinking like this just to impress your friends?

Plus, while I've never owned a pair of Reef sandals, word on the street is they're pretty comfortable. Although, as Uncrate notes: "after drinking all the Beam you've hidden in the heels, we doubt that will even be an issue."

Bloody Marys are generally considered the perfect elixir for a post-party hangover. But if you don't like the taste of tomato juice on a good day, much less on a bad one, like New Year's Day, a Bloody Mary would only multiply your woes.

If red veggie juice with pepper and vodka doesn't do it for you, consider making an Emergen-C elixir, a beverage made at Genie's Cafe in Portland, Oregon.

To make this drink, mix orange vodka, muddled lemon, an orange Emergen-C and a cranberry splash into a glass and rescue yourself from the cotton-mouth, nauseous hangover.

Ah, the internet -- bringing us the kinds of social ills and personal vices we could have never imagined back in 1995.

With broadband access in American households approaching 50 percent, the availability and ease with which people can buy seems to be adding to our national problem with credit card debt. And throwing a cocktail into the mix of shopping, internet and credit cards doesn't seem to be helping the situation. Experts are starting to recognize a correlation between alcohol consumption and excessive internet buying.

It seems to add up, doesn't it? After all, people have been impulse buying for ages and for a varieties of reasons -- depression, loneliness, relationships. The internet coupled with booze probably makes the emotional buying that much easier.

What do you think? Have you ever bought anything you didn't want online after drinking?
