jessd 0 #1 December 1, 2004 I thought that this was an interesting little story. Could have saved me a few times! CANBERRA (Reuters) - An Australian phone company is offering customers the chance to blacklist numbers before heading out for a night on the town so they can reduce the risk of making any embarrassing, incoherent late-night calls. A survey of 409 people by Virgin Mobile, a joint venture of The Virgin Group and Optus, found 95 percent made drunk calls. Of those calls, 30 percent were to ex-partners, 19 percent to current partners, and 36 percent to other people, including their bosses. The company also found that 55 percent of those polled would grab for their phone first the next morning to check who they had drunkenly dialed, compared with just eight percent who went for the headache pills first. http://www.boston.com/news/odd/articles/2004/12/01/protect_yourself_from_drunk_dialing/ "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

airborne31582 0 #5 December 2, 2004 Is there a way to block myself from calling a number? I just know some day I am going to DD my parents. Chris I thought of the odds of me succeeding, versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, install a breathalyzer on your phone - if you're over the limit, it blocks you from calling certain numbers Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
