Your stuff is working Ok, but about about every 256 times, something happens: the 255th person's glass always shows as needing a refill. No matter what we do (including as many refills as we can produce,) the message never stops. Can you please tell us how to turn off this feature?" ;) "Hello, Microsoft LiveSurface support?

It's more about providing better service. Whoever is delivering the drink should know if the customer needs to be cut off or not. Besides, it doesn't apply just to alcohol. This could be very useful in restaurants. James – I don't think it's about encouraging people to drink when usually they would not. It's more about providing better service.

(!?) I completely agree that drunk driving is terribly irresponsible and shouldn't be encouraged, but then neither, in my view, should your ridiculous obsession with it as the sole effect or goal of alcohol consumption. I'd recommend that you relax with some good friends and a pint, but I'm afraid you would end up stranded in the parking lot of your local pub, waiting for those last two molecules of ethanol to leave your bloodstream. Cheers! @Wide Angle
