Russians Find a Way to Drink Vodka Over Internet with a USB-shot-glass.
Drinking is an indisputably important part of Russian culture. It’s frequently used as a bonding element, an initiation ritual, an entertainment piece, or a business component. The stereotype is that Russians drink a lot of vodka. And it’s the truth. However, there is an unspoken rule in Russian Culture - a person shall not drink alone. That is why, it’s common in bars to be approached by strangers who are trying to form “Trinity”.
Sergei Mikheev, an expert of E-Generator - a Russian Peer-2-Peer creative agency, has come up with a new way of solving a common problem - you need to drink, but you don’t have anyone to drink with. Here is how it works - you plug in a special shot glass to a USB port, connect to an online vodka room, and find virtual drinking buddies. The main idea is that the shot-glass will track the amount of liquor in it and report it to other users. This is done to make sure that the person has finished the shot (it’s considered rude in Russia if one doesn’t finish a drink). Unfortunately, it’s not known yet, how the glass will determine its content. Via Lenta.Ru

[...] Filed under: Misc. Gadgets Considering that we’ve all some of us have been enjoying online chats, poker, and dating for quite some while, it’s not too shocking to see the Russians utilize the power of the web to bring alcoholics and social drinkers together in inebriated harmony. Sergey Mikheev, head of e-generator, has devised a USB shot glass to allow lonely, alcohol-needing individuals to get their drink on while safely at home. While we don’t consider ourselves experts in Russian culture, it’s apparently not tactful to get plastered solo, and while online drinking might be stretching the rules just a bit, we’re sure those vodka-lovin’ internet dwellers aren’t complaining. The idea is to join a group of drinkers in an online lounge, where the USB shot glass levels are shown on each person’s screen; once the go-ahead is given, the folks turn up their glasses and chug it down, ideally showing an empty glass after a random smashing of keys somehow spells out congratulatory phrases. As interesting and novel as this may be, let it remind us all how “getting a life” should be taken oh-so-seriously. [Via ChipChick] [...]
