Zed is a mobile services firm in the UK that wanted to know more about the habits of its customers. Zed found nearly 80% of those polled between 18 and 35 like to mix messages with their alcohol, sending at least three text messages while they're out drinking. And, one in five people wakes up the next morning with more than just a hangover. He or she ends up having to call one of those three message recipients to apologize. Seems drinking and messaging can be a volatile combination.
