This watch tells you when you're drunk and need to go home (plus some pretty bizarre facts)

In the category of inventions of the century, I have another one for you. It's really nice that Apple watches, fitbits, and those kinds of things can tell you how many steps you take and what your heart rate is; this watch really shows you the things you need to know. Scientists are actually working on developing a watch that tells you when it's time to go home. Because then you're too drunk. Yes, this watch is going to tell you when you have looked too deeply into the glass.

How brilliant is that? The first watches have already gone through the first test run and what turned out? They could reasonably accurately estimate how much someone had drunk. So are you someone who never can refuse a shot? Then you will soon have a good excuse. Well, just look at the time; it may only be half past eleven, but according to my watch, I am already well over my max. Something tells me that this is also going to be the most ideal passive-aggressive birthday gift for that one in the group who always goes all out.

I hear you thinking: This. I. Want. Well, you can already sign up to be on the waiting list. The BACtrack (that's what it's called) looks quite fashionable, but if you don't want to part with your Apple Watch: you can also install it there. No more excuses. They have a four-step plan on how it works, the last one being: ‘Make better decisions.‘ I find that quite funny and I immediately promote this to my New Year's resolution. You can also set it so that your watch goes off if you drink too quickly. No little drinks for the atmosphere, or it goes haywire.

To stay in the category of drinks, I have some fun facts for you. Also in the category ‘make better decisions’. Okay, they are not watches... But who knows, you might learn something from it.

Read and learn.

1. It takes six minutes for your brain to start reacting to alcohol. So start timing when you down that shot. That sambuca hits in 3, 2, 1...

2. Ha, I knew it: changes in your hormonal system can make your hangover worse. For example, because these changes make you need to pee more often, dehydrate faster, and thus your hangover gets worse.

3. What is also not beneficial for your hangover are dark alcoholic drinks. So leave the red wine (oh no, there goes my favorite), whiskey, and dark rum alone. Clear drinks are the way to go.

4. Women and men process alcohol really differently. Young men have certain enzymes that process alcohol about 70%-80% faster than women. But we women have the last laugh: those enzymes break down in men much faster than in women. So we can easily drink those male seniors under the table. Cheers.

5. I choose to believe this, because apparently it has really been researched: people with blue eyes have a higher tolerance for alcohol than people with a different eye color. I have blue eyes and from now on a good excuse that I don't want to go home yet. I can still have one, I have blue eyes...
