drink first, drink second… got it.

step 1: sample the vodka to ensure consistency… …step 4: sample the vodka again to gain confidence in your hacking abilities… … step 6: sample the vodka… … step 12: vodka…

Hmm – add an accelerometer or orientation sensor to auto-increment. Voila! A shot counter.

Hack the hardware first, then drink, then do the software.

Oblig. XKCD:

Some ideas:

1) Temperature gauge! Add a thermometer on the inside and measure the temperature of the vodka.

2) Measure contents remaining, Print out % of bottle left

3) Create a drinking game out of this!

When I code for fun, I like to drink, so this could be a great project. A little pricey for an led matrix I think, unless this is really good vodka.
The funny thing for me about drinking while coding, I often times write stuff that works great, but it makes no sense to me the next day. It ends up that when I want to modify the code I usually have to scrap it and start fresh. The sober code is usually a lot bigger but at least I know what’s going on. Hopefully I can get a job working @ home someday ;-)

P.S. I’m drinking right now, but I’m from Wisconsin so it’s ok.

I bet someone will think WOW what a great idea lets slap an old ardunio on that bad boy…after reading HaD for awhile now and I still have no idea what it is nor do I care…

No what needs to be done is add the blood alcohol sensor from sparkfun http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8880
Then add a electric valve on the top and let it cut you off when you are done. Refill as necessary. Maybe make it spew random stuff that it reads from twitter and let you figure it out. It could become its own drinking game.

Empty it, make it waterproof, throw into ocean, 21 century message in (on) a bottle

What kind of electronics should you have on a Vodka bottle? Easy, a Breathalyzer!

… until the SEE goes dry? Some Visine should fix that up for you.

vodka is not a flammable liquid. it’s usually only 40% flammable liquid by volume.
better buy stock in these people BEFORE u make me want to buy their stuff:)

That flick is 100% absurd – I love it! :D A couple in a romantic setting, POURING DOWN VODKA and PROGRAMMING ELECTRIC COLLARS with CHOPIN playing in the background ..!

This is a great housewarming gift!

It’s a PIC16F628A with 4 x 74HC595 8-Bit Serial to Serial/Parallel ICs and a ATMEL AT24C16AN EEPROM. The leds are 120 ( 5 x24 ) SMD blue leds 1mmx2mm in size on a flexible film dual layer PCB. There are two CR2032 (not soldered so they can be replaced) at each end of the film (right behind the buttons) that fit into a deeper slot on the bottle.

The whole thing is held in place by a transparent silicone sleeve and a smaller plastic frame to distribute the pressure on the PCB.

vodka is great!!! dangerousthsthsth, can’t stop drinkig, upper version of Kettle one, if anyone is into vodka, knows immediately outstanding

You really should have a look at their Beer-barrels.
