Ideas you think are great but most people probably think are rubbish.

My brother woke up in the middle of the night years ago and thought he'd had a great idea. He didn't want to forget it by going back to sleep so he wrote it down.
He woke up the next morning and he'd scribbled down 'two storey tent'

lol and then we can reveiw gamer and running man etc
lol i like the cut of your gib
Damn, man. i was gonna say that
I think a good idea would be some sort of device that could very accurately determine how much alcohol someone has consumed/how much is in their blood, and could do that very quickly and painlessly (no big **** off needles thankyou). Just a little strip on your wrist, like a watch.
If you want to buy a drink, you have to have flash the barman/maid your little device that shows your blood/alc. levels (or to make it even easier and quicker for when the place is mobbed, a light which went between green for ok and red for not ok).
The government could set a clear limit on how much you could have in your blood before a bar has to stop serving you. Obviously it would need to be fairly high because otherwise you wouldn't be able to drink that much. I mean make the limit at a level a little below the point where most people just cannot function/think straight. Would cut down on the number of people drinking themselves to death / hurting themselves from being way too drunk.
The current way of doing things (if you think they're too drunk, don't serve them) is a little too fuzzy and doesn't really do much.
If the bar or whatever broke the law and sold to someone over the limit they would be fined/whatever, same as it is now.
Will probably be waiting a good while for that to even be possible though.

That is ridiculous. It's up to you how much you drink and what state you get in to, it's not the responsibility of the bartender.0 -

It's illegal to serve someone that's completely slaughtered, as far as I'm aware... It definitely is in the UK anyway
It's all too often proved that drunk people are not responsible. This is a way to stop them killing themselves/taking up hospital beds etc. All it is is a quick look at the little device. And I'd say most publicans would be happy to make sure no-one dies of alcohol poisoning after being in their pub, and there's no fella out the back taking swings left right and centre because he's so out of it.
I'd say it would save money and time for the taxpayer too... medical expenses, Gardai can be doing other things 'cause they don't have to investigate any deaths or whatever, probably a little less alcohol related crime in the small hours too. However this might cost a lot too...0 -
