That actually is remarkably cool... I've never been to the clubs or anything but I can imagine that would definitely be a problem somewhere like Statesboro where I'll be next semester. Being violated must really suck bad...

Bonus points to the first person who MS Paints us lazy Farkers a schematic of how this thing works.

But this sounds most promising. It just sucks that something like this needs to exist.

It's kind of a funny bit of logic though...

"I'm going to use this special glass so I can drink the disinhibiting liquid of my choosing, not some other disinhibiting liquid."

That was more of an "in principle" type argument, by the way.

In practice, I think this is an excellent idea.

This seems to be a bit of a gimmick.

First of all, most bars and clubs use glasses that can simply be dipped in two or three sinks and left to dry so that they can be clean. A glass like this would seem 10 times harder to clean.

Second, can you imagine people at frat parties or house parties at colleges (where date rape seemsto happenn quite frequently) using these? Yeah! Right! Pretty soon, they'll be handing out celibacy literature at the front door too!

What a great product. I hope the school doesnt "ass rape" the guy and he profits off of it.

First makeshift bong in 3...2...1....

Or girls could forego the gimmicky glass and just pay more attention to their drink.

mssing: First makeshift bong in 3...2...1....

Damn, I was thinking the same thing, that this would be easier to make into a bong.

Here's a simple solution to not getting your drink spiked, and it's one that my girl uses every single time: Drink it all, then get up to dance.

I can do it in corel.

Basically, the drink goes into the sides of the glass. While the center of the glass, is a void. The void runs all the way through the bottom of the glass (and onto your shoes).

The gap between the wall of the glass proper, and the inner void of the glass, is supposed to be too small for anyone to easily pour any liquid into the glass. It will take a special attachment for drinks to be poured into these new glasses.

P.S., your drinks will now cost $3 more each. $1 to cover the extra work the bartender has to go through to fill this glass. $1 to cover the cleanup bill for the floor (from spilled roofies), and another $1 to cover the cost of the glass itself.

lordargent:

Well done!

does this mean i can't chug my alcohol anymore?

Anyone whose mat turns blue is a loser.

Here's a thought, if you don't trust the other person enough that you feel the need to take special precautions so they don't rape you... why are you drinking with them?

Anyone else not expecting a 20,000 word essay on the boringest topic ever?

more surface area = warm drink

On the plus side, if you put a dowel rod sticking up thru the bar or table, you could slide it down over that. Voila, unspillable.

Add a single-use sticker (the kind that can't be removed intact) across the joint between cup and lid, and you're golden.

Plus, it's says something about people too dim to keep an eye on their damn drink.

really cool concept, but they better make sure that the glass is large enough to compensate for the volume that the funnel thing displaces. i could see them either not increasing the size and charging the same price for drinks, or increasing the price of drinks to cover the cost of larger/more complex glasses without making them larger.

either way, prepare to pay more for your drinks in order to not get raped. besides, it'll only be a matter of time before someone attaches "for the children" to this thing (despite the fact it's for 21+ year-olds) and then they'll be mandatory.

Bartender! Martini and a roofie colada!

I was gonna go off on how most frats arent like that, being as proud of mine as i am... then i realized, were not most frats. Yeah, its a big prob.

/Had to beat a guys ass who was takin advantage of one of my lady friends
// now i realize college girls are stupid and need to learn a farkin lesson
///yeah i said that

Anyone else envisioning the new drinks people are going to create with this glass? They are going to do all sorts of shiat with that hollow center, like put something in there and light it on fire upon serving.

I couldn't tell if tom martin was the hot girl with the drink, some guy who made it, or a drink itself.

Hey bartender give me a tom martin on the rocks.

Put a cork in the bottom, and you can make all sorts of cool new cement mixer/depth charge/brains/carbomb-type drinks.

rubber jojo: Anyone whose mat turns blue is a loser.

Simply awesome.

Cheers!

/may your mats never turn blue

Giggity giggity

How are you going to get a drink "On the rocks" if you need a farking funnel to pour the liquid in?

Bugger!!

Thats my sex life on the downward spiral.

here's an idea -

HOLD ON TO YOUR DRINKS!

The entire design leaves it susceptible to syringes- which it's essentially going to require to fill it anyway.

Syringes are easy to come by, and any powders or pills could easily by added to enough liquid ahead of time to dissolve them. A small syringe could be secreted nearly as easily as a pill/etc anyway...

Redesigning the glass is a waste of time, it's the use of the object that's the problem-

loungechaircarebear

here's an idea -

HOLD ON TO YOUR DRINKS!

That about covers it.

couple ideas i thought about while wasting my time Rin'TFA

1. Will be used until it has to be cleaned the first time.
2. Date rape drugs will be liquified then be put in ketchup-style packets or visine bottles and dribbled in
3. Glass will accomodate about 2 oz of liquid and therfore be completely impractical.
4. No one will buy the glasses because they'll be $20.00 a piece (yeah i know british story, i'm talking relatively speaking here)
5. Because of the shape of the glass, there'll always be that little bit of drink left that you CAN'T GET OUT and then chicks will ask to have it in a "regular one"
6. When's the last time you went to a bar and a chick drank wine?

But hey, it works good on paper!

Screw it. Just use one of these.

I also took the poll on the page. 85% of readers thought this was a good idea. That means 15% of us have common sense.

BRING YOUR DRINK WITH YOU. DRINK YOR DRINK BEFORE LEAVING IT.

JoGold:

How are you going to get a drink "On the rocks" if you need a farking funnel to pour the liquid in?

goooood question. though they said this was designed for wine drinkers, and i have yet to see someone order a merlot on the rocks.

there's a small chain of places around here that sell their drinks in plastic cups with the tops sealed across like a pudding cup, and you poke a pointed straw through the lid to drink. they dont charge any extra for the cup system, it's just their thing. guess this could be applied to alcoholic drinks too. probably cheaper/simpler than funky glasses like this one.

I think it's a good start. As for all you HOLD ON TO YOUR DRINKS! people keep in mind some people are skilled enough to remove your wrist watch without you noticing. What makes you think they can't put something in your drink?

Umm... just a question, but how the fark are you going to clean these things? The fancy cleaning accesories it would require would raise your bar tab by $2.00 at least.

Besides, the ultimate solution isn't to watch your drink, it's to get a steel chastity belt with razorwire across the front. Nothing says "Fark off" like sliced dick.

Solution: Spend time and money educating the population that women are equal to men and that rape is rape and is as bad as bad gets at any time in any place. Discourage thinking like "she asked for it." We are a culture that subtly encourages this kind of behavior and are shocked when it happens.

Glasses are cool though. I want some for some crazy mixers.

Hey, we're talking drunks here...
With this idea I can see nearly every drink being spilled.

/pictures drunk, one eye closed, biting tongue, trying to set their drink down on that damned dowel.

Prediction: This man will never, ever make any money from there and we will never hear of this stupid idea ever again.

why are people even setting their drinks down? a moment without consuming your beverage is a moment wasted. get serious about drinking, or get out of the bar.
/insert light-hearted disclaimer here

Too bad you can't clean those glasses... pills can't go in, but neither can detergent jets or good, old fashined washcloths.

Stupid idea.

tango victor: somewhere like Statesboro where I'll be next semester.

I doubt you will see this, but I am so so so very very sorrry.

The Great Mutato:

Prediction: This man will never, ever make any money from there and we will never hear of this stupid idea ever again.

Yeah, sad but true.

I suspect the #1 way to avoid being roofie'd is to go to the bar with friends, and keep an eye on each other. It's like diving, always use the buddy system. That way even if somebody does put something in your drink (hmm, a Ramones song is running through my head) it won't do them any damn good, because they won't be able to do anything about it.

Purely technological measures rarely solve social problems. The problem is that there are sexual predators out there, and no damn trick glass will stop them by itself.

Just wait till she leaves the table to go to the restroom.

Then use a peppermill filled with roofies. And dust her salad.

This is supposed to be for drinking wine?

"The Hollow is good for wine drinkers. Lots of women drink wine and they are the main targets of having their drinks spiked,"

Uhh... I call Donkey Shenanigans.

Wine glasses are shaped the way that they are to alow for the wine to be as pleasant to the nose as well as the palette.

There is a reason that wine isn't served in a collins glass with a straw.

Maybe it's because I don't drink, but how can you smell anything other than vinegar in wine? I don't find the smell of vinegar to be particularly pleasing to the nose.
