gateway shopping

Gateway shopping is when you break down to buy "just one thing" after you told yourself you have to stop spending money. Much like breaking the seal when drinking, once you have purchased one item, you'll purchase five more items, spend money you don't have, probably will have buyer's remorse.

Me: I'm not going to spend any more money on leggings and purses. I have to buckle down and save money.

Also me: Ok I've got to go to the mall for just one thing - I need sandals and that's it. That's all I'm buying.

Also Me: Ok this purse looks really with the sandals, but I like that purse too - two purses won't be a big deal. It's just Coach...

My friend: It looks like those sandals sucked you into gateway shopping - you broke the seal!

Gateway Drunk

A alcoholic beverage with a low alcohol content consumed innocently without the intent of getting buzzed or drunk. It ends up being the starting point before moving onto hard liquor and the inevitable hangover that will follow.

“Last night I was out for sushi and drank some sake. At some point I moved onto high end vodka and now it feels like a gang of honey badgers had an orgy in my skull before parking a van on it.”

Examples of Gateway Drunk beverages include, but are not limited to: Beer (non IPA), wine, sake, Mike’s Hard Lemonade (and similar products).
