Why not take the concept of paying for your drinks and collecting them yourself like you do in say Burger King. You could pre buy as many beers as you like, or pre buy several rounds ( if you really wanted to impress/buy your friends ) Of course this would have to be a cleverly controled system-Maybe the punter is issued with PIN or ticket with mag strip, and when he/she gets the beers in from the vending machine the PIN or ticket has to be entered and the account is debited as the night goes on. This system would have added benefits; no queing at the bar and it would be like helping yourself at home hence creating a relaxed atmosphere.

       A pre-pay bra - what a brilliant idea!

       Or just add it to your taxes at the end of the year!!!

       I suggest the machine take special tokens, like an arcade. 1 token= 1 volume of beer.

       Build a breathalyzer into the device that won't accept the card if you're already lit. Oh, and make sure the card (or whatnot) is standardized to one could use it in _any_ bar...

       Three exclamation points. That's it, Jutta, you're cut off. No more beer for you until you get that out of your system.

       You don't get out much do you CustardCurtains? This is as baked as baked can be. Just go into your local pub. You can put money over the bar in advance or, if your a trusted regular, just stick it all on your tab & settle up at the end of the week. There are also plenty of places that serve beer up in big jugs so you can get plenty of ale in in advance.

       Online bar tab...pay monthly, yearly, go to bar and drink or prepay!

       Putting the BAR code or pin number on the beer mug would lead to fights, thefts of mugs, buying beers without mugs to put them in, and real sadness when your mug slides off the table and crashes to bits.   

       How would you tip?
