Christmas Gifts for Beer Drinkers: Day 1 – the iBreath

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Every day until Christmas (excluding days we get too drunk and/or lazy) we will post a new gadget that the drinker in your life would be ecstatic to receive this Holiday season. If we miss a day, we’ll make up for it with two bitchin’ gifts the following day.

I’d like to start this series off with the coolest gift I’ve found so far: the iBreath.

Yes, ladies and gentleman, it’s an iPod-powered breathalyzer (works on iPhones too). The brilliant people at David Steele Enterprises state that it’ll read you blood alcohol content within 5 seconds of blowing into the device’s tube. And that it’s accurate to within 0.01 BAC. And did I mention that it doubles as an FM transmitter for your car stereo? Well it does that too.

We’ve seen some pretty cool iPhone apps for drinkers (we’ve created two), but this is the best drinking-related use for the iPhone I’ve seen! We’re all about safety first here- go get hammered, punch holes in your wall, wake up next to a wildebeest, just don’t go drinking and driving.

It only goes up to 0.1 BAC, so it can’t be used as a novelty toy to see how wasted you can get, Tucker Max-style.

At $79, it’s very comparable to other breathalyzers, only this lets you jam to your iTunes in the car that you can’t drive for the next 5 hours. (btw, don’t sit in your car drunk, you can still get a DUI even if you’re just sleeping it off) Go out and get one for your friends, it could save their life.

Drunken fun on your fridge!

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Have you ever wanted to pour your booze through an elaborate contraption attached to your fridge before drinking?  Well the Chugulug Drinks Factory seems to be the answer.  I think Gizmodo had the best tagline: If Rube Goldberg Were an Underage Girl You Wanted to Get Drunk.

The setup comes with the following and magnets to your fridge for easy access:

 

  • 2 x vortex funnels – where you pour in your booze and mixer
  • 1 x ‘the mill’ – the paddles mix you drink as it goes though
  • 1 x ‘the propeller’ – aerates and churns you drink to perfection
  • 1 x ‘the tank’ – fills up as the multi coloured balls splash around
  • 1 x ‘the tap’ – where your perfect drink is stored ( you can also add ice here to chill it!)
