BuyDrunk

The fine print

How we make money

Short version: when you buy something here, we keep a cut. That’s the whole business model, and we’d rather say so than hide it.

The products

Almost everything on BuyDrunk is made and shipped by an independent brand. We list their products through Shopify Collective, which means you check out on our store and the brand fulfils the order. The brand sets the retail price; we earn a share of it, agreed with each brand. You pay the same price you’d pay buying from them directly.

The articles

Our gift guides, reviews, and data roundups feature products we sell. That’s not a coincidence; it’s the point. What we promise:

  • Nobody pays to be in a guide. Rankings are our opinion plus what our swipe data says people actually like.
  • If a brand ever sponsors a piece, it will say so at the top in words a tired person can’t miss.
  • Reviews are opinions, written by humans who used the thing or at least held it. We don’t show star ratings on our own products.
  • Data roundups come from anonymous, aggregated swipe and game events. No individual is identified.

The tools and games

Party games, gift exchanges, wishlists, reveal links, and polls are free. They exist so you’ll find things to buy. We don’t sell your data to make them pay for themselves.

Affiliate links

We currently don’t use third-party affiliate links. If that changes, links that earn us a commission will be labelled.
