How to Prevent 'Drunk Dialing'

by Warren Riddle on May 20, 2009 at 03:03 PM

Some of the world's greatest and most respected writers celebrated the inspiration they received from the bottle. But let's face it, alcohol doesn't turn us all into Hunter S. Thompsons or Ernest Hemingways, despite what we may think at the time.

In today's world of instant communication and stored messages, a little too much liquid courage sometimes results in massive failure. Thankfully, although technology has given us drunk dialing, drunk texting, and drunk e-mailing, it has also given us methods of preventing potential disasters.

GeekSugar recently investigated some of the best methods for curbing your muddled, drunken musings. For your iPhone, there is Designated Dialer and iDrunk Dialer. Gmail gives you Mail Goggles and the Undo Send feature. There's even a cell phone from LG with a breathalyzer built-in, and urinal-mounted games from Piss Screen to test how impaired you are.


If these methods don't work and you keep up your intoxicated textual transgressions (or if you receive an embarrassing message from a sloppy ex that you wouldn't mind publicly humiliating), do us all a favor and at least forward them to Texts From Last Night. We might as well get some humor out of it. [From: GeekSugar]
