Anti-drunk phone.

Just musing. Do you think it'd be possible to create a little feature on a
mobile phone to prevent one sending text messages when drunk? I just the
other night had a friend sending text messages to whom she *thought* was her
other half after a couple of jars, but it got a bit garbled in the phone
number selection and ended up going to a rather more embarrassing person.

I was thinking along the lines of "If you want to send a message, enter this
sequence of numbers within 10 seconds", i.e. something that'd be easy when
sober, but quite difficult when inebriated. I suppose a phone could be
fitted with a breathalyser, but I guess that'd be overkill.

Just a thought.

All I can say is either:
a) don't get drunk; or
b) leave your phone at home when you're planning to get drunk.

We were on a high spirited night out, girls all on one table, blokes on another.
I SMS'd the wife to tell her what I was going to do to her later.
She'd lent her phone to her cousin...


Another friend at a party sent a text to her sister along the lines 'good grief,
have you seen what xxxx is wearing? She looks like a fridge!", and sent it to
xxxx.

Be careful out there.
