Slot Machine Drink Dispenser Wins Memory Loss
Man has long been attempting to combine the destructive vices of gambling and alcohol. Now, with the $60 Slot Machine Drink Dispenser, our fuzzy dreams can become a reality. We can just pull the lever and watch as our favorite cocktail drops into a glass. Storing up to 1.5L of liquid at a time, it's a jackpot that could strike twice—hopefully not all over your shoes.

Put Some Age On Your Cheap Booze With the Help of 15,000 Volts
Why get drunk on cheap booze when you can get drunk on cheap booze that actually tastes good? That is the question Jon Sarriugarte asked himself when he and a buddy set out to solve the problem of how to artificially age brandy. Inspired by a single sentence in a book from the 1930s, they decided that electric current would do the trick. Fortunately, John already had a luminous transformer in his basement (don't we all), and he proceeded to pump 15,000 volts into a glass of bitter brandy. To his surprise, the taste had mellowed considerably. More »

When we've got enough money to get what looks like a 1500-sq-ft living room/home theater area, we're going to load one wall up with a MisuraEmme wall system. Not because it classes up the place in a way that cardboard boxes just do not, but because it combines a sliding flat-screen TV with a self-contained home theater unit with a bar. Did we mention that it's classy? Because the rest of your home could be an S&M dungeon, but as long as you've got this to greet houseguests when they first enter, you'll still be able to get on the cover of Drunken TV Monthly.

Liquor Lock Keeps the Non-Resourceful Kids Sober
This just in for parents who want to control every aspect of their teenagers' lives: The Liquor Lock secures your Christmas spirits under a three-digit combination. Supposedly, the stopper within expands when you engage this $15 device, but we're hoping the glass on that bottle is stronger than that muscular kid down the street with a penchant for hard liquor. At least it'll send a message to those drunken-sailor kids of yours. [Sporty's, via Wired]

Shot Caller Times Your Drinking Games to the Last Second
If ever a gadget is going to promote responsible drinking, then the Shot Caller is it. And let's face it, when you're playing drinking games with your buddies, it is all about being responsible and drinking up when you are told to drink up. Made for the Power Hour and Century Club drinking games, the Shot Caller prepares you for when it is time to drink, with red, amber and green lights. You can set it for either an hour or 100 minutes, and it comes with four regulation-sized shot glasses. The financial cost is $10. [The Shot Caller via DVice]

Shot-Glass Printing Bot, Darko-Like Rabbit, Molten Beer Bong Turn Up at Roboexotica "Cocktail Robotics" Convention
Apparently the science of cocktail robotics was woefully neglected until some enterprising alkies created Roboexotica, a convention to celebrate cyber-assisted drunkenness. The action is taking place this weekend in Vienna, and from the looks of the opening night pictures, things are still as academic as they were when I was in college. (Just looking at this molten steel beer bong gives me a tear of nostalgia.) The homemade replicator—or "reprap"—you see above stamps shot glasses using a thermistor, stepper-controlling arduinos and, of course, an extruder. Man those nerds know how to party!

Booze Drip Saves Time, Sanity
The Booze Drip appears to take all of the fun out of drinking, deconstructing the past time to the cold, hard science of blood alcohol levels. And we know what you're thinking: "Thanks?" But the Booze Drip does not actually circumvent your mouth with a direct vein feed for your alcohol, as one might assume from the picture. Instead, it merely simulates said direct vein feed while actually filling a cup with the "medication" of your choice instead (disappointing those of us who could actually benefit from a no-handed insobriety). The Booze Drip will run you about $25, and it may cost you job stability and long term relationships as well—overall, cheap! [product via coolestgadgets]

Lighting designers' minds must be turning toward boozing it up lately (joining those of your humble narrators), because this is the second time in as many days we've noticed special lighting devices that somehow illuminate containers full of alcoholic beverages. This clever idea involves a battery-operated LED, nestled within a cork that takes its place atop a bottle of the colorful beverage of your choice. Notice the whimsical effect when a group of those bottles are all lit up from above like that. Now, that's a design concept we like. [Yanko Design]

Boozy Lamp Lets the Spirits Shine Through
We like to celebrate all things drinking just like the next guy, but we're kind of scratching our heads over this goofy table lamp that attempts to splash the color of your favorite booze all over your walls. Just insert the neck of that bottle of wine, liquor or whatever else into this rocker-shaped lighting fixture, and the spotlight within shines up through the liquid, bathing your drinking space with the muted crimson hue of a fine Cabernet or making it murky with the earthy caramel color of that Johnny Walker Black.

$2 Plastic Pocket Shots (of Booze)
Pocket shots are like those little gel packs that marathoners use to go the extra mile. Except instead of energy-giving sugar, these are filled with vodka, rum, and whiskey. [Wired, Thanks Rob]

Ultra Seven Wine Set
Enough wine may feel like it's given you superpowers, but trust us, it has not. However, the Ultra Seven 40th Anniversary Wine Set brings us one step closer to realizing our overconfidence. Once just an ordinary merlot, when packaged with Koji "Ultra Seven" Moritsugu signature stemware it becomes ULTRA SEVEN!! (wine). At $82, the (surprisingly classy) wine set will be the perfect gift for the chic geek when it comes out this September. Just prepare to import it, or make a friend in Japan bring you one back.

Here in Illinois, our ability to order wine from our favorite producers will soon be a thing of the past, outlawed to empower the confusing regional alcohol industry. That's why "home brewing" wine through the Oenophile's Personal Winery is so attractive. You order legal crushed, frozen grapes from the region of your choosing, and it does the rest.
