Urine Analyzing Toilets Warn Clubgoers Against Drunk Driving

Zouk is one of the hottest clubs in South East Asia, and in an attempt to help the government in Singapore reduce cases of drunk driving, has developed a urinal that can tell how much you’ve had to drink.

The process starts when you hand over your keys to the club’s valet, who instead of the usual parking coupon, hands you an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device) tag instead.

All of the urinals are able to detect this tag when you go to use them – they are also able to detect how much you’ve had to drink using urine analysis.

During a two-week period, over 573 drunk drivers were detected, out of which 342 opted to leave their cars at the club and have somebody else take them home.
