The next time you can't make it to the celebration

The next time you are out of town, have to work late, or just dont want to be at the bar for that celebration, you can still buy your friends drinks- just text it to their cell phones. Sure, it's not as much fun as being there and having that drink with them, but atleast you did your part of the ritual of buying your friend a drink on their birthday or for that promotion that she got, and you din't.

The way it works is to go to bcodedrinks.com and select the bar and drink you would like to buy, pay for it online, and enter a cell phone number to notify the recipient at. The recipient takes his/her cell phone to the bar, where the message and code is scanned and gets a drink!

It takes the fun out of being at the bar, but if you cant make it, or just dont want to, you'll still be part of the celebration. You can even send it to them when you cant think of what gift to get them. Ofcourse, the bar needs to have some kind of scanning device as well, so it's not everywhere yet, but it'll get there, as does everything tech.
