A new pint glass brings a bit of high technology to the ancient art of drinking - with a glass which can order you a cab if you get too drunk.

The ePint has a fluid detector inside which can tell if it’s empty - and pairs with an app which can count the number of drinks you’ve had.

The gadget - currently seeking funding on KickStarter - can pair with other ePints so users can play drinking games where the gadget lights up.

One of the built-in games is called ‘The Chugging Contest’.

The app can also tell users how much fluid they need to drink to rehydrate the morning after.

The makers say, ‘Fluid Detection Sensor ePint can tell you when your full and when your empty. ePint also knows when it’s sitting idle and powers down to standby mode.  

Its makers suggest that the gadget could be set up to call a cab when a certain number of drinks have been finished – or just when it strikes midnight.

The company says, ‘The ePint is hospitable enough to know when you need a refill and responsible enough to contact a cab when the party’s over.

‘It’s no longer just for drinks. The ePint is your friend and you partner in crime.’
