Laura Krajecki, chief consumer officer at Starcom MediaVest Group, said they are currently working on researching the possibilities of the drunk phones, telling Ad Age:
"We were just doing global research with field strategists in understanding the role of beer in Saturday night around the world vs. other drinks. In studying beer, we started to discover that young adults cherish their smart phones and iPhones so much that they don't want to lose them if they have an epic night out. Now they take what they call their "drunk phone," a cheap low-end phone, so now they are carrying two phones because they don't want to lose their smart phone."
