BERLIN (Reuters) - Fans of non-stop drinking may soon be able to cut down on time wasted ordering refills, thanks to a beer coaster that can tell when a glass is empty.



The coaster, fitted with sensors, measures the weight of the beer and sends a signal behind the bar when it's time for a refill.

Does it come with an auxillary speaker that screams "HEY WINCH!! GO GET ME ANOTHER FUCKIN' BEER!!"?

It'd be great for home use.

Its an aquired taste. The more you drink, the more you will like it. It tastes nothing like any other "ordinary" drink so it takes some getting used to. It isn't sweet at all, and everything else in america, if it isnt water, is sweet.

Vodka tonics are probably one of my favorite drinks besides dank beer. Summit Extra Pale and Bells Two Hearted are my two favorite beers however.

Yes, but also, as you grow older, you lose taste sensitivity; so, things with sharp, bitter, spicy, sweet, etc etc become more mild in taste.

I don't believe I would have ever caught that... even though it's spelled Tylenol. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

That is one fucked up word... gets hard to say after you say it so many times in a short period of time.
