The Morning After.
Lots of glasses part filled with beer, wine, cider, spirits ... all going to be thrown away.
It's a crying shame.
But not with the new BorgCo "After-party alcohol recovery vacuum system".
Collect all the drinks and tip everything together into the stainless steel pot.
Push the start button and an oil-free pump starts, exhausting the air from the vessel. Vapour is drawn from evaporator into the actively-cooled condenser chamber. Heat from pump motor warms the evaporator vessel. The whole system is pressure/temperature controlled at -0.5 Bar, +40C in the evaporator (stirred), +10C in condenser.
When the controller bleeps, discard the sludge from the evaporator and wash it. Detach the condenser bottle and pour the alcohol into a container for storage, or maybe just drink it ....
Prior art?

This is very inefficient. |
|
| |
At any decent party, the majority of the alcohol
winds up in the partygoers, at least temporarily. |
|
| |
What's needed, therefore, is some means of keeping
the partygoers themselves at +40°C and -0.5 Bar,
until they have yielded up all of the alcohol that
they would otherwise metabolize into dull carbon
dioxide and water. |

| |
Seems appropriately frugal to me. I suggest using "-0.5 Bar"
as the name. Or "0.5 Bar" if you are an optimist. [+] |

Owhhhh, but that's the best bit.. |

I've previously had basically the same idea but for pub urinals. |

You could sell it premium - after all, it's been filtered an extra time. It works for coffee beans. |

Foster's Lager has Prior Art in that
technology. |

Madame Disappointment is your bedfellow once again, [bigs]. |

So 8 of 7 you selling a fancy still. Right? I like it. |
