Do You Drink Alone?

Every time I hear the words "drink alone" I start singing George Thorogood's song in my mind. Even though he preferred to be by himself he had his buddy Weiser,Johnny Walker,his Old Grand-Dad and a cast of others to keep him company while he drank alone. The same was not true for a South Korean inventor who didn't enjoy drinking alone so he invented Drinky a bro-bot. Drinky listens to your problems without judging,giving an occasional nod or thumbs up to keep up his side of the conversation he can also clink glasses with you as if he were a human companion. Perhaps his best feature is instead of consuming the alcohol like a human friend Drinky has a glass jar for a stomach so if you run low on alcohol Drinky's portion can be appropriated for your own use! In that way he far exceeds a human companion. The bad news is Drinky is not being mass produced,so you will have to take a page out of George Thorogood's songbook if you don't care for drinking alone.
