The myth of the 'drunk phone' - CNN.com

So do you carry a "drunk phone" when you go out for a night of revelry? Or can you not part with your valuable smartphone? Are there other times and places you'd opt to take a cheaper phone?

I do when i go on hiking trips.

All depends where I'm going. If I'm going to a swanky bar then I take the note. If I'm off to a dubstep rave or festival, or cycling, then I take the backup phone, desire hd.

I have a work phone and private phone.
I leave my work phone at home when ever I plan to get drunk.

For me my problem is not the losing of the phone, but the drunk textig and phone calling.
I wish they'd put breathalyzers on the phones so that when I am drunk I cant call sertain numbers....

I don't get so "drunk" I'd mess up up my phone, nor me, nor anything else.

One phone goes to all places for me. If I really think it will get damaged or lost, I just don't bring a phone.

i also do alot of water stuff, boating, jet skiing, ect, i have a water proof case that floats, take pics through, can operate phone through, ect. and that is one thing i use to protect phone. plus never get to drunk to not know what i'm doing!!!

I don't drink, so I don't need a "drunk phone". If I have some concern about losing my phone, I can always leave it at home. There's always voicemail.

I don't drink but I sure didn't take my phone when I went fishing last night!!

 

[JAJameson2010]

Not sure I've ever been that drunk to need a back up phone!

I don't have a drunk phone, I have never done anything stupid with my phone when drunk, but it would be good to have a cheap backup phone to go to some places...
A wrist watch it's really useful here, I don't know if that's how they do it everywhere, but here, they ask you for the time so you check your cellphone, and if they see it's worth something then they rob you....

My older phones had poor vga cameras that took low quality pictures in clubs & I put them through image editors to make abstract pictures of the lazers, sihoettes of ravers & general blurring. But after a while these phones would fail due to condensation from being in a hot club or on camping trips.

Phone I have now is designed to put up with a lot more so no real need for a 'dumb phone'. I have to travel to decent venues so a smartphone is welcome.

I've never been that drunk...... In Public, and only once at home. I chalk that up to being young and stupid and on my own for the first time. Yup, one hangover was enough to last me a lifetime. Know your limits I always say.
