The drinking culture is a prevalent one in Russia, thanks to vodka that is present everywhere you go. An unspoken rule in Russian culture dictates that a person shall not drink alone (you do need a designated driver after all if you want to have a wild night out), leading to the creation of an USB-powered shot glass. This special shot glass will connect you to an online vodka room automatically when plugged in, finding virtual drink buddies. There is a special sensor within the shot glass that records the amount of liquor within, reporting it to other users. There is no word on how the shot glass's sensor will determine the content though. I smell a prank, but it is definitely an idea I will drink to.
