Great new invention for heavy drinkers

The kids are off on a sleepover tonight, the wife is out of town on business and I am heading out for a drink with one of my friends. I have been known to imbibe a little too much when it comes to beer and it got me thinking of a possible invention that may just catch on if given the chance....The TBB (Tranquilizer Beer Bottle). The bottle will contain a floating widget (similar to that used in the Guinness draught bottles) which will hold a small breathalyzer unit. As soon as it detects that you are double the legal limit, it will trigger a tranquilizer dart into the roof of your mouth and will knock you out for the night. The widget will also contain a GPS tracking device which will send a signal to your favorite cab company indicating that you have been rendered mute and they will come pick you up....hmmm, that might just work

Good one and I guess you'd be too intoxicated to mind the dart sticking the roof of your mouth too! You know I don't know how common it is yet but there are some 20 somethings in Rockville, MD that have started a business of driving you and your car home when you overindulge. Of course they are a bit high but not considering what a DUI would cost you. Somehow I think that would be more attractive than your invention but I could certainly see yours being useful too. I'm still chuckling - that really was a good one!

Hey you're really good at this.I really wish i could think this way.Its a really cool idea.But there's one thing though.Dont you thing that the GPS tracking device would be to big for the bottle to hold.
Sorry if i had applied the brakes to your imagination but I'm just curious to know if there are newer versions of the device that come in small sizes.lol.
But that's a brilliant idea though.

I know you were trying to be funny, but you might actually have a real idea hidden in there somewhere. I think any device that could detect that someone has gone over the legal limit would be a great deterrent. There are still too many people on the road who are driving when they shouldn't be. I hope you have a designated driver when you go out. There's no reason not to have a good time with your friends, as long as you get home safely.

Brilliant! You could make a ton of money off of this idea... you'd better patent it before someone else steals it! :)

you couldn't have come up with this and patented it before now? LOL my wife and i are going out tomorrow for the first night in a LONG TIME, bugg free (which means the boy is staying with mammaw and pappaw), to a bar, live music, and renting a hotel room within stumbling distance. We're going to get sloppy drunk, wake up in an unpleasant state, have breakfast, and go pick up the boy. sounds like a terrible aftermorning. i can't wait! We haven't been out with friends in a long time without that small voice piping up from the backseat, or going to see buggfriendly movies, etc etc. So, I ask again..what took you so long to come up with this?

This sounds like a great idea, have you had it patented yet?
Where I come from its the women who knock their men out and then drag them home by their balls, so I think alot of these men would be well up for this devise.

If it contains 'chaser' that prevents hangovers then I think that will catch on. I'd make sure I get extra drunk just so I could be injected with it. But it would suck if the cab company was called and you weren't ready to leave yet. Some people can drink an awful lot and still not be ready to go home!
