Just like "drunk-texting," there is also a symptom called "drunk-posting." For those of you who are guilty of this, there is now the Social Media Sobriety Test that will deter you from doing such embarrassing things.
Drunk-posting is the result of getting hammered and engaging in social media sites late at night, only to regret your slurred posts the next morning. The Social Media Sobriety Test app lets you input what times you are most vulnerable and blocks you from accessing Facebook or Twitter during those hours. Further, the app makes you pass a mental-agility test, like dragging a cursor in a straight line, in order to access those sites when intoxicated. The Social Media Sobriety Test is a genius idea for all those digital drunkards out there.
