Cameraphoning under the Influence
"Until recently, party animals only had to be cautious of drunk dialing, made even more common with the explosion of cellphones, reports The New York Post who has collected a series of mortifying anecdotes.
"What could have been just another forgettable night, may turn into a nightmare, thanks to a "friend" who snaps digital photos, send them around by cell phone or posts them on the Internet.
