Not being preachy here, we've all been a little sloshed and made bad decisions, I just feel like if you need a reason outside yourself, ask a friend, preferably not the one who will have to drive if he/she says "yes, you've had too much to drink."

At the time I had a Nokia brick (long time before Nokia introduced that annoying ringtone adopted by Dom Joly) and would often wake up on a Saturday morning with hazy memories of the text messages I'd sent, usually to ex girlfriends. This was before mobiles (mine at least) had 'sent items' which was probably better in those days because if you didn't remember you were none the wiser. So, with that said, I'm staking my claim of having the initial idea of introducing breathalysers on mobile phones.
