I love when the health world overlaps with the tech world; it makes health blogging that much more relevant.

The majority of you have fallen victim to the drunk dial, but what about the drunk text? I have to assume that if you're guilty of the drunk dial then you must be plagued with a few drunk texts here and there. It's really just an easier, less direct method of the same thing — next day humiliation. 
Like a big dork, I'm one of the few people who spells everything out in text messages. (Okay, I may use the occasional abbreviation.) But dammit, I'm afraid if I give up on complete words, I'm gonna sound like this kid. It's a slippery slope.

Before you know it, you could be shopping from your cell phone! Or that's the idea Urban Outfitters has in mind, at least.
