The DrinkShield is not quite as dirty as the picture above may convey. Circuitry nerd Craig Smith (who also happens to love drinking) has developed a breathalyzer that can be turned into a potentially naughty party game.

Aptly tagged with the phrase "Blow Me", the DrinkShield is open source and you can buy a kit from his online store ($27.50). Detailed assembly instructions are included:

"The GfxHax DrinkShields are easy to build and a great tool to learn and get better at soldering. The boards are silk screened so that every part is marked on the board to easily identify what part goes where. If you have built electronic kits before you shouldn't need a tutorial to assemble this kit."

The next big software update for iPhone is coming sometime in April and will include a Food section in Apple News+, an easy-to-miss new Ambient Music app, Priority Notifications thanks to Apple Intelligence, and updates to apps like Mail, Photos, Podcasts, and Safari.
