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 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 dialled, compared with just eight percent who went for the headache pills first.

you should prefer sms as most people in my country do. I canŽt count the numbers of them which IŽve written completely drunk - but fortunately I can at least check what I have done to my friend(s), career or anyone last night beeing on my last leg..

Lembo: perhaps you should start a new voice note each time you start to drink - youŽd pick a funny collection of noises, I guess
