I've seen a few bar/strip clubs in Canada that had a breathalyzer machine in the bathroom, next to the condom machine (WARNING: do not confuse the breathalyzer with the glory hole). For some people, it would have the wrong effect.

I think France now requires all cars (or drivers) to carry a disposable breathalyzer.

MADD? The first article says: Even safety groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and AAA declined Tuesday to endorse NTSB's call for a .05 threshold. The second article says: MADD would not oppose the change, he said, but would pursue other remedies.

Of course, it would be counter productive to demand a 0.0 limit. Is .05 even drunk by any meaningful standard? The MADD representative they quoted in the article is Mr. J. T. Griffin. That ought to tell you something.

You know what else expires? Roundup's usefulness,

The backstory: Roundup is a weedkiller. It's also a plant killer. So Monsanto developed a soybean with roundup resistance. Lazy (uh, I mean efficient) farmers could just spray roundup everywhere to kill off the weeds.

If you've heard of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, you know what happened next.

So now you have roundup-resistant super weeds and farmers need to manually weed their crops. By the time the patent expires, there will be no advantage over heirloom soybeans (well, if you can even find heirloom soy beans).

While I am a fan of the concept, it does look like that can will be undrinkable for some time on account of it being seriously shaken up.

Where "some time" is 30-45 seconds. Try it some time -- shake the fuck out of a can of beer or soda. Let it set for a minute and then open it.
