The "pee analyser" does as the name implies; it will analyze a persons urine and determine if they have had too much to drink. It is an innovative solution for people who might have had too much and just not realize that they have.
It is being tested at a night club in Singapore called Zouk, the whole process starts before you have even sipped your first drink. PSFK explains that upon entering the club you would hand over your keys to a valet. The valet would then give you a radio frequency identification device tag (RFID) that doubles as a parking stub. From there, you can go inside and party to your heart's content.
Later, when you've had a few drinks and go relieve yourself, there's a urinal equipped with a device that examines urine for alcohol levels. If you are above the legal limit, a warning message appears above the toilet.
But that's not all: when leaving the club, valets can detect drunk drivers via their RFID tags set off by the urine-analysing toilets. They will then ask patrons to take a taxi or use Zouk's drive you home system.
DDB Group says its urine-analysing toilets spotted 573 drunk drivers in just two weeks, and 342 of them decided to leave their cars at Zouk's nightclub. Pretty cool.
