Now you never need to stop drinking..

Thu Oct 6, 8:30 AM ET

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.

Anxious drinkers can also attract the attention of staff by waving the plastic mat, thanks to a motion sensor.

It was invented by students Matthias Hahnen and Robert Doerr for a project at the University of Saarbruecken in southwest Germany.

The device has attracted the attention of beer vendors in North America, including a leading Canadian brewer, according to Michael Schmitz, one of the supervisors of the project.

"They wanted to know if they could use it or make it themselves," he said. "The prototype cost about 84 euros to make one but if mass produced, it could be done for around 10 euros."

Does it make sure that that one hot waitress is the only one that answers the call? I'm all for this kind of technology...

I'm half-Irish, so I'm poking fun at myself.

An Irish guy gets stranded on a desert island. He walks around for several days without finding another person, or any food or fresh water. He then finds an old oil lamp on the beach. He rubs it, and a Genie pops out who says: "You can have 3 wishes, anything you want".

The Irish guy says, "Well, I'm God-awfully thirsty, I could really use a cold Guinness". The Genie nods his head, and a frosty mug full of a dark liquid with cascading bubbles appears in the Irishman's hand. He drinks in down in about ten seconds and says, "Thanks, Genie, that's the best beer I've ever had!"

The Genie tells him, "That's a special mug - as soon as it's empty, it will always instantly refill itself with cold Guinness". Now, don't forget, you have two more wishes, what else would you like?"

The Irish guy downs his second beer, watches it refill again, and says "This mug is great - I'll take two more o' these!"
