Could have the breathalizer build into the case communicating with the phone through Bluetooth. An app transcribes your speech into text appropriate to how drunk you are.
So even if you say reasonably clearly: "Yea, we're having a great time, just had a couple of cocktails, might get a nightcap later."

Boozelator writes "Yhaa, whesher havna ghurat tum. Shhesh hassa kuploa costaze, miguna ghutta nihcap lillator."
This way the person receiving the text will know how drunk you are.

I think the reverse may also appeal to some - translating Sozzle back to normal English, this way the person receiving the text WON’T know how drunk you are. |
|
| |
Probably do-able. Could be an optional feature to the BACtrack breathalyzer app on both iPhone and Android, and might leverage translation modules already available in both operating systems. |

Tell ya what, bun this I'll go bun one of your ideas. The rules don't say anything about bun trading. Peace through commerce, it's beautiful thing. |
|
| |
Seems a little squirrely? Eh, makes it even more interesting. |
|
| |
(Not on a regular basis, that'd be too weird, just a one time thing) |
|
| |
You don’t owe me anything, you just managed to type your remark before I finished an edit and got back to pushing the button… [+] |
|
| |
And seriously, it’s nice of you to offer but I prefer to give and get votes purely on an idea’s merit. Neither amity nor animosity applies. |
|
| |
Totally agree. That's why I picked ideas that I thought were the best going down your list. |

Now that being said, I think we both might be spending a little too much time on the old HB. Making us both a little wacky. Maybe I'll take up golf. Get away from these damn computers all the time. |
|
| |
Golf? There has to be something more interesting you could do. Open a record store specializing in vinyl? |

In order to receive the messages, the recipient should have to match or exceed the sender's degree of inebriation. Think of it as geo-fencing, but with lassitude instead of latitude. |

Thought it was a familiar idea…. see link |
|

I like the idea of setting your phone to only talk to people as drunk as you are. I never minded drunk conversations with friends if I were drunk, but get an obviously soused buddy calling at 10 at night? Suddenly I turn into the Pope. |
|
| |
By the way, I haven't drank for decades but doesn't mean I don't have great memories. |
|
| |
which may or may not be accurate. |
|
| |
// Suddenly I turn into the Pope. // |
|
| |
Now *that* I would like to see. Where were you hiding the hat? |
|
| |
A new miracle of transubstantiation, no doubt. But all things are possible. Catholics have a very complicated relationship with alcohol. |
|
| |
//Now *that* I would like to see. Where were you hiding the hat?// |
|
| |
"Is that a Pope's hat in your pants or are you just very very very happy to see me?" |
|
| |
I know they're cliche' but those Pope hat down the pants jokes never get old. |
|
| |
[voice] - thanks. that was in my head after I made my remark. |
|
| |
Gotta add, if it's too garbled, the app just sends "Too drunk to talk right now". |
|
| |
LOL!, Then if you try to text again the app says "Dude, really. Sleep it off." |
|
| |
You could also program it to say "Bro, listen to yourself..." and it plays back a recording of your slurring mess. |
