How to avoid drunk texting

This is one of the best tips I have, especially because drunk texting can ruin pretty much everything and anything.  If there's someone you REALLY shouldn't text when you're drunk (ex boyfriend, a guy who was a jerk to you, even a best friend who you're in a fight with, YOUR MOM) follow these steps.


1. Write down their number on a piece of paper before you go out
2. Delete the number from your phone
3. Leave the paper in your dorm room when you head out for the night
4. Give any friends who have the number explicit instructions not to give it to you no matter how hard you beg - seriously.


This way, you still have the number for when you're sober and thinking rationally but you can't do some serious drunken damage.  This has saved me so many times, can't recommend it enough.
