If you drink, don't use your cell phone

After “airplane mode” comes “drunk mode”. Exactly. That is how its developer has named this App, designed especially for those who let alcohol take over their actions and prevent them from falling into the most absolute ridiculousness.

This practical app for those who are not aware of the combination of drinking and mobile phones prevents them from committing actions that they immediately regret once the veil of alcohol is gone. No more inappropriate messages or calls. Drunk Mode It only deactivates those temptations that can ruin a great hungover morning.

Joshua Anton, its creator, defines it, in statements to the newspaper The Telegraph, in a more than graphic way: “It’s like a condom for your phone. A condom allows you to have sex and have fun, but without the story ending in pregnancy. It keeps you safe.”

By activating this app, those contacts that are likely to make a terrible mistake if you call or send a message to them under the influence of alcohol will immediately disappear. Neither fathers, nor mothers, nor ex-partners, nor bosses; our contact list is completely free of dangers.

But not only that, beyond making these contacts invisible, and in anticipation of the temptation being maximum, this App is also capable of blocking messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Messenger either Snapchat to prevent compromising or embarrassing photos from being published.

During the period of activity of the App, which can be modulated between three and twelve hours, Drunk Mode It also disappears from the phone screen so that we cannot easily reverse our anti-drinking insurance. To do so, the App asks us to solve a mathematical equation.

To round out the app, Drunk Mode is also able to offer us a map showing where we were the night before.

However, beyond these preventive measures, it is always best to follow a useful piece of advice that is useful for so many situations in life: “If you drink, don't do it”.
