Females Flock to Facebook to Post Pictures of Their Drunken Antics

Drunken Tom-Foolery a Point of Pride on Facebook and MySpace
Acting like a fool when drunk used to be something that you either kept from everyone you know, or your friends brought up to embarrass you, especially for young women. But something has changed in the past few years. Now drunken tom-foolery has become a point of pride, and if you need any proof, just look to social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.

Groups like '30 Reasons Girls Should Call it a Night' on Facebook have sprung up dedicated to drunken women making fools of themselves. Public urination, passing out in the street, and even vomiting on one's self are no longer antics you hide like a second girlfriend, but are events to be documented and proudly posted on your social networking profile of choice. The group has close to 150,000 members.

For illustation, here are the top five "reasons" the girls give to join their ranks:
  1. You have absolutely no idea where your friends are.
  2. You have absolutely no idea where your car is... wait did you bring your car??
  3. You've become convinced that dancing with your arms overhead, shaking your ass, and yelling WOO HOO is truly the sexiest dance move EVER.
  4. You've suddenly decided you want to kick someone's ass and honestly believe you can do it (bitch...i ain't playin...).
  5. You start singing 80's songs at the top of your lungs and showing off your dance skills to the car next to you.
This new-found pride in inebriated debauchery goes along with an increase in the amount and frequency of alcohol consumed by young women and teenage girls. A study performed by the British government recently found that the average 15 year old drinks the equivalent of a bottle of wine every week.

We're sure there are some who might be concerned by this statistic or the proliferation of drunken pride, but we just can't help but laugh at the girl who drunkenly fell into the bush. We'll let some of the pictures we found speak for themselves. Warning: some of these are not pretty, so be careful at work.

The Computer That Tends Bar

The Computer That Tends Bar

Boy, it's a good thing 'The Love Boat's' Isaac is no longer on the air to see this one: He, like all of mankind in due time, has been replaced by a robot -- minus the sexual innuendo, of course.

The $2,275 MyFountain is an automatic beverage dispensing system. Yes, other attempts at mechanized imbibery have come before it, but this puppy is a cut above the rest, boasting a touch screen, password and child-proofing protection, and separate lines for different types of beverages (instead of piping beer and wine down the same lines as lemonade and Shirley Temples). There's also the ability to program it with portion control. That means Grandma can self serve herself just enough Scotch to stay buzzed and happy, but not enough to make her cranky and violent.

Best of all, MyFountain is networked, which lets it hop online to retrieve drink recipes, or place orders when the bottles get low.

Now if only you could program it to completely ignore you when you want a drink -- then it would really be like a human bartender. Well, if you're not a blond in a tube top, anyway.

Using GPS to Discourage Drunk Driving


After a series of drunk driving accidents in Japan last year, Nissan decided it had to do something about the epidemic of inebriated motorists. The company considered a whole host of options including Breathalyzer-like devices. Finally, yesterday the company unveiled its anti-drunk driving initiative: Every time you turn the car on, the optional GPS displays a message reminding you not to drink and drive.

Yup. That's the big move. That's the how Nissan is going to rid our streets of drunk drivers.

There's a variety of products out there that can prevent you from starting your ignition if you're drunk -- they can even sense if you're drinking while you're driving. Cell phones can even have Breathalyzers built into them. And yet, the best Nissan can muster is a printed message on an optional feature. If your car has GPS, is it such a stretch to imagine it detecting erratic lane changing, or noticing when you repeatedly ignore one-way signs?

Instead, Nissan has delivered the automotive equivalent of mom telling you to behave every time you leave the house. Even Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign had more muscle.
