Every once in awhile at the local Best Buy I see this tapper cabinet that costs a couple hundred bucks. Problem is we don’t drink enough so that even the smallest keg would likely go flat.

I might be more interested in such a device though, if it was powered by the Kegbot.

custom software for an attached Linux computer that can look up drinkers in a database and post their pour total to the Web. According to Kegbot, each approved drinker gets a digital ID button with a unique 64-bit code. You need this to pour a drink. A microcontroller reads the code and sends it to the Linux computer, which matches it to your entry in the database and checks any restrictions on your drinking.

Neat idea! Just imagine a stats counter powered by the Kegbot. This would be really neat for a beer site/blog. Imagine Budweiser using something like this for a corporate blog?

Perhaps something that monitored hydration (water consumption) would be more useful in our household, however, I keep getting drawn back to that study that said 14-28 drinks a week can improve brainpower.

Did this post make you go hmm?
