We’ve all seen the embarrassing aftermath of drunk picture-taking, and now My Drunk Pix has emerged to let these booze-fueled photos live on forever.
Like TextsFromLastNight (see below), My Drunk Pix is a site driven by user-submitted content. Rather than text messages, however, MDP sorts drunken photos and posts them by area code or nickname.
