how much is THAT worth, eh?

i mean, something that says "oi, no" when ¥ou stagger home and up to the keybaord with a belly full of piss and a liver full of apprehension.

think of the amount of permanentlyrecorded embarrassment you'd save!

Ahhh yes. People have been requesting this on phones for a long time but email is a rather overlooked form of drunken communication as is the internet messageboard. A better system would be for storage of all messages typed until a sober breath be parsed and then let the user look through all of what was intended to be sent and then select what actually goes through. 99% of which will be awful but we all know that, 1% of the time, being pissed allows for certain awesome ideas to come out and they deserve to be heard in their true, pissed-uply typed fashion.

As you can tell from my terrible sentence structure, I too am a little worse for wear.

Alcohol makes people do some strange things. This is true.

The Stella's done lots of things to me and others. Mostly good things on my part. But drunk dialling and typing can be crappy side effects of this otherwise wonderful drug :)

there's a good chunk of the first chapter of "Slaughterhouse Five" devoted to a rather amusing description of drunk dialling.
