I would like to say first and foremost that the Acaposting post, was originally intended for Monday 3/24, but it wound up getting finished a little prematurely (snicker) because its been so long since I've seen written to you all and I was pretty excited. So even though it got out Sunday night at 10:25, I think it should count for Monday. But then inspiration flew at me like a spidermonkey and I had to write about it.

Now, I'm not entirely sure why I am sharing this with all of you, because to be honest it could make me a lot of money one of these days (like Who Wants To Race a Kenyan!). I mean all it takes in America to make it rich is one BIG idea (and you know I mean really big because I used caps) , but nonetheless, here I am squandering my million dollar idea and telling the world. But to get the full effect of this idea, I need to paint you the backdrop, the scene, the story. I need to be your Bob Ross of prose if you will.

So I walk into one of my roommates' rooms and see him sitting at his desk with a bottle of Skyy Vodka (and no, its not misspelled for you drinkers of lesser vodkas), and a shot glass. Now, he was the only one drinking, and even coming off a 7 day binge in Acapulco (Mom and Dad by binge I mean Missionary Expedition) I'll be the first to say that sitting alone at your desk ripping shots kind of makes you an alcoholic. Actually, it does make you an alcoholic. But then out of nowhere I hear a girl's voice and lo and behold my roommate is not taking shots alone! He is taking shots with his sister via webcam! There they are, miles and miles apart, lining up shots and pregaming together via webcam across cyberspace. Cue the lightbulb special effects guy, because here's where my idea comes in.

All across America people are labeled alcoholics because they sit alone and drink right? Well, why not start an online community, much like Facebook.com or Myspace.com combined with multiperson chatroom servers like the ones they use for online poker sites, except for alcoholics and binge drinkers using webcams. It can be called something like AlcoholicsOnymous.com (get it?) People all over America, all over the world, can saddle up to their computer webcam with their favorite bottles, and join a virtual, face to face community and drink together in real time. And since they aren't drinking alone anymore they won't even be alcoholics! I'll give you a moment to let the brilliance of all of this sink in...

...and we're back. But think about it. Seriously. The possibilities are endless. You can have private chatrooms where you can drink with your buddies, or open rooms where anyone can mosey on in and have a drink. Maybe you can even pay a premium to be an online bar owner and set up a cool web page with music playing, sports scores scrolling across the bottom, whatever, and have members a.k.a. "regulars"pay to join. Plus you never have to worry about drunk driving, tipping a bartender, or getting cut off for being too incoherent!

It can even extend to the collegiate and twenty-somethings world in the form of Pre-Game.com. Friends not going out tonight but you are? Don't wanna go to the bar sober, but don't wanna get drunk alone? Login into Pre-Game.com and you can get sloshed with others just like you. Who knows, maybe you'll even see them at the actual bar afterwards.

If this isn't a great idea then I don't know what is. I know full well that about 2 months from now, I'm gonna be kicking myself in the ass as I sit here writing this blog for free, and one of my readers is making bank off of Pre-Game.com, but hey, thats life.
