The waterfall sounds are perfect!
So many are infected with malware and viruses when their decision making processes are swayed bu drugs and alcohol.
The writers of these nasties count on it.

You should switch to Windows Mobile.

So many times I could have used these tips...my new rule is that when the wine bottle is opened, the computer is turned off...major trouble otherwise.

This is a great post! I see the market for a new USB based device - breathalyzer - to unlock the PC you need to blow into it. Configure it to lock you out at the alcohol precentage at which you feel you cross that line between loose, funny, and witty to obnoxious and embarrassing. I guess we'll need one for the iPhone and Blackberry as well. And, no, I'm not drunk right now.

Now that's just really annoying! I just wrote a REALLY funny reply to this post then pressed the wrong button and lost it, took me ages, you all would have laughed you pants off! That is the essence of posting when you are drunk, just don't do it, something will go wrong and you won't come across as clever as you think you are right now (although to be fair, I do think my lost post was hilarious and clever but I guess the world will never know now because I'm drunk and forgot what I said!)

Hilarious! I have forwarded this e-mail to MANY people who have drunk-emailed, IM'd, Tweeted, blogged, etc. It's quite entertaining :)

My problem is that the iPhone gives me WAY more internet connectivity than I should have when I'm drunk. And it takes pictures. Both of those facts combine to make a perfect storm of drunken+internet horribleness.

Re Smartphone: Leave it at home for your friends sake. Chances are one of them who followed all the rules above and is having a great time doesn't appreciate you snapping a photo of them while they are on auto pilot and publishing it places because it's "funny". It's not. Don't be that guy who brings the camera and captures moments those in the moments didn't want captured... Ya know!?!?! ;)

Good post Joel..

I've had to resort to renaming the Twitter txt contact in my phone to Twitter-THINK-FIRST, especially since I've hooked my Twitter updates to my Facebook status.. Too many slurred tweets and aweful song lyrics finally caught up to me..
