Truth Phone: Drinking and Dialing

Filed under: Neurology

Our friends at We-Make-Money-Not-Art are covering the Takeaway Festival of DIY-Media in London. Among the novelty devices featured is this mobile phone with a breathalyzer built-in:

Not being able to see them, it's hard to judge others' emotions over the mobile. This model makes phone calls only if one is intoxicated, ensuring nothing but communication from the drunken heart.

There was a time when a cell phone / camera combination seemed strange, so perhaps phones like this are a glimpse into the future. The thing is, we'd much rather prefer a phone that blocks drunk calls (and we think our ex-girlfriends would, too).
