Can you imagine walking into a bar and asking for a shot of vodka for your cell phone?

Or, gee, sorry, the battery of my laptops keep running down, that's why I need two shots of vodka every hour. ;)

I see "bio," "battery," and "shots" all in the same headline, and I assume the story will be about something bad. Go figure.

I don't know, but the article said they are running it on vodka and gin. I wonder which does the battery like better.

Two martinis please... one for me and one for my computer.

But all joking aside, that would be a nice renewable energy source.

No. Strangely enough, this fuel only seems to last about a half hour for Russians. The continual refueling of the battery makes it impractical.

Expensive to dump vodka in computer time, but helpful in case of urgent need.
