So I just got home from a Baccalaureate Party, and amazing one might I add!!! But the entire evening I kept seeing people on their cell phones, and I remember at one point have a discussion or something about how everyone has cell phones now, even kids, and they have tracking devices, etc...
But then we left the bar we were at, and outside, still with the cell phones, and at this point you know everyone is hammered!!! so here it comes... the art of the drunk dial!!! See here's what I'm thinking, did people even do that sort of stuff before you had the direct ability, in your fabulous inebriated state to just call someone? Because, I know if I didn't have a cell phone I wouldn't be inclined to jump to the nearest payphone so I could call my ex who's number id have to remember off the top of my head, to "meet - up!" HA
I think that cell phones give us the opportunity to be more accessible, even when you should be locked away in a room somewhere until you come to your senses (this used to be known as P.C.'D). I know they are an advantage in case of emergency, but just based on the conversations I over heard last night, do the right thing, leave the cell phones at home, and let the sober one carry hers!!!

I'll just say that at the unnamed Swedish Lutheran liberal arts college in south-central MN I attended (hint: initials were GAC), there were a lot of parties on campus, where everyone had a campus phone and a directory (called a GRIB for a now-lost reason) to look up phone numbers and such....
So I think the drink-and-dial / accessibility thing has been around for a LONG WHILE, although the relative level of accessibility has increased....for better or worse.
I'm with you, Rachel.
