Drinky drinky
We have all been there. Or at least those of us with interesting social lives have. You go out for a couple after work and bam how many have you had so far? Should you even be considering driving? Are you THAT guy again? And better yet, how about anooother?
You could lay down $100 easy on a electronic-breath-analyzer-device which’ll accurately measure your blood alcohol level as long as you wait 30 minutes between drinks and can blow a tennis ball through a straw. But you have to wait 30 minutes!
Or you could adopt the approach meticulously developed by Waggle Labs scientists as a sure fire, dead simple method to know at any point how many you’ve had. As an added benefit our approach facilities planning, a small but important commitment to thyself to consume a specific and finite number of drinks before quiting…
How it works
As you can clearly see from the provided exhibits (please ignore my two tatoos on that arm), you draw a series of boxes on your arm, the total number represents the “target number” of drinks you’re hoping to consume (one box per drink!). Each time you have a drink … X marks the spot.
Good times
Some fun alternatives for this include: 1) rolling a pair of dice to determine how many boxes you’ll get, 2) starting out with one box on night one, then double on subsequent nights, 3) using different shaped boxes to represent different classes of alcohol, i.e. square for whiskey, round for tequila et al
From here
We’re hard at work developing an equation which can accurately and reliably translate the waggle method of breathalyzing to the method used by law enforcement. Stay tuned.


This system is a cornerstone of sanity in my world. Beautiful. I love well engineered solutions.
