On the surface, I'm simply blown away.
A guy gets blind on booze in November and within three weeks has designed a response to mitigate future like experiences?
Hell, I had an idea three years ago for a stunningly culture-shifting app...and I'm no farther on it today than I was then.
According to Springwise, Dhairya Dand has devised an ice cube that, not only blinks to the beat of the music but, informs you when you've had enough. And, if you ignore the warning, it texts your BFF to come and retrieve you.
Which is a sensationally magnificent idea.
With just one concern.
The ice cubs blink green to red, depending upon how drunk you're getting.
Which, while telling the holder of said glass to slow down, would provide a target for those predators that only want a quick score.
Hey Dhairya? Way cool idea...but, one that may need some additional thought.
How does it know how drunk I'm getting? And if we both had ice cubes in our vodka martinis, would we be getting drunk at the same rate? Although, the green would reflect beautifully against chilled glass and olive! Sorry, I had to go there.

There's a motion detector imbedded in the cube that estimates how many sips you've taken. And, yes, the green would look fab with the olive...and with the pimento later on :)

Sheesh talk about your unintended consequences!
