Yeah, Go Reach Out and Touch Yourself

Could Drunk Dialing be a thing of the past?

Perhaps, according to Virgin Mobile. The Australian-based Virgin Mobile designed a blacklist for cell phones, essentially to prevent you from drunk dialing. This came as a result of a study performed by the good folks at Virgin Mobile:

A survey of 409 people by Virgin Mobile, a joint venture of The Virgin Group and Optus, found 95 percent made drunk calls.

Of those calls, 30 percent were to ex-partners, 19 percent to current partners, and 36 percent to other people, including their bosses.
I'm taken aback by the 10 percent unaccounted for in that study. What could the Virgin population being up to with that remaining 10 percent? Maybe that drunken lot merely took advantage of good phone service? Perhaps those inebriated fellows engaged in acts so heinous, so insulting, so unbearable that we as citizens of humanity would request it cease to be immediately?
