A drunk dial is a communication via telephone (usually through talking but also applies to text messanging) that is somehow embarrassing or absurd. One drunk-dials to emote, excoriate, declare, confide, or proposition, often at a grossly inappropriate hour. The best drunk dials are those whose purpose is to either insult or get back together with an ex.

Get the Drunk Dial mug.An old term used at the end of a show before a commercial, the 'dial' part referring to old TV's that had dials to change channels. Some shows still use this, and only use it because other shows do. Other shows now use the term 'Don't touch that remote' or something like that.

Get the doodoo dial mug.A step up from drunk dialing ... a narcotics dial is when you've just been released from the hospital and are experiencing excruciating pain and nausea despite the (Percocet, Delaudin, other narcotic) you received, and dial your ex while you're out of your mind and leave an incomprehensible, nonsensical message or worse yet, you actually speak to him or her and have no idea what you actually said.
After I was released from the hospital for kidney stones, in a Delaudin haze, I actually thought it would be comforting to talk to my ex, so I Narcotics Dialed him and left a rambling message. I'm not surprised that he didn't call me back.

Get the Narcotics Dial mug.The lame assumption that when you drink heavily, it would be an incredibly good idea to start calling people on your cell, because you're in such a stupor that you can't fathom them having anything better to do at 4 am than talk to your stupid, emotional ass.
Jane: I've had three Long Islands in an hour. I should probably call John. I haven't talked to him in so long! (dials John's number)
John: You dumb cunt. Leave me the fuck alone.
John: You dumb cunt. Leave me the fuck alone.

Get the drunk dial mug.The inevitable process of calling a romantic interest (girlfriend, boyfriend, etc) while intoxicated to confess random thoughts about absolutely nothing. Usually, you will sound very stupid and pathetic.
Friend1: Dude, I called Jessica and told her that I loved her.
Friend2: Are you drunk?
Friend1: Yeah.
Friend2: I told you not to Drink and Dial. Your such a fuckin idiot.
Friend2: Are you drunk?
Friend1: Yeah.
Friend2: I told you not to Drink and Dial. Your such a fuckin idiot.

Get the drink and dial mug.To make a regrettable late night phone call after drinking heavily. These calls are often made by guys to ex-girlfriends or someone they want to date. The result is often embarassment and self-loathing for being a)overly emotional, b)incoherent, or c)creepy
