The Coles website and app have gone offline hours after a viral Reddit post highlighting a nearly 80% discount on 24-packs of premixed alcoholic drinks.

For several hours on Saturday, both the Coles website and app displayed a message advising they “we’re currently offline – but not for long”.

The website and app came back online before the website went down again on Saturday afternoon.

It was still offline at 3.30pm AEST on Saturday.
