In our words: The listing described Drunk Mode's features: finding drunk friends by GPS, hiding chosen contacts to stop drunk dialing, breadcrumbs to retrace a night, and a ride finder for Uber or Lyft. It planned a campus alert feature that would push a missing person's last 24 hours of location to nearby users, and claimed 100 to 200 users in every college town.
