Buy your friends a drink online

September 21, 2006 · Written by Joel

Most of us like to have the occasional drink. Some of us would even say we drink too much. Indeed with the government’s strict definition of binge drinking being 5 units in one go, it is easy to fall into this category. With a large glass of red wine containing 2 units, and a pint of lager 3 units I’ve been binge drinking a little too much recently. But how does that affect me? This hilarously excellent diagram shows what parts of the body alcohol may have suffered as a consequence of my two beers:

It might just be me, but there aren’t that many parts of the body it doesn’t seem to affect. In fact it might have been easier to do a diagram of those parts. My favourite (if that’s possible) is the “face”. No part of it in particular, just the entire face.

So in the spirit (pun intended) of these sobering (they just keep on coming) warnings, please buy me a drink. Well not me personally (I wouldn’t say no though), but people in the UK can now buy anyone a drink online, get a code delivered to their mobile and make them happy (albeit temporarily, as alcohol is a depressant).

Choose a drink from the selection
Enter their mobile number, your message, then pay. It’s that simple.
Your voucher is sent via SMS and your friend or colleague simply shows their mobile phone at the bar.

Only available in Corney & Barrow pubs and at £3.25+ for a bottle of beer or £6.75+ for a glass of wine, it might not be the cheapest drink you’ve ever bought, but it might be the most impressive!
