To stop users who have had a few too many to go online and make an arse of themselves – or as we have seen in The Social Network, create a very successful website and become a billionaire in the process - a Swedish company have created a test that checks your motor skills in order to establish if you are fit enough for Facebooking. If a user passes the test their status update will have a tag saying that the update has been “filtered for alcohol”, if a user fails the test the update will be accompanied with a tag saying that it failed the “drunken test” and should not be taken too seriously. The company behind the application IQ, is part of the Swedish ‘System Bolaget AB” which is the only shop in Sweden allowed to sell alcohol. “Thoughts and opinions that are expressed on Facebook after a few pints can do more long-term damage than a hangover,” said Ann-Therése Enarsson the CEO of IQ.
Click here if you want to do the test - it's in Swedish but all you need to do is hit the lights as fast as you can.
Note: Here at Current.com we all failed the test and all we drink is tea...

A judge has criticised a company which organises drink-fuelled nights out for undergraduates - one of whom faces jail for urinating on a war memorial
For £10 teenagers are given a t-shirt and free entry to bars and clubs, many of which offer cheap drinks.
For some it is harmless fun, but the president of the National Union of Students, Wes Streeting, told the BBC the pub crawls put students' welfare at risk.
He said: "It seems to me Carnage does what it says on the tin. It gets lots of students together in one place at one time to go on bar crawls which cause carnage in town centres up and down the country.
"This puts students' welfare at risk and leads to anti-social behaviour... when this happens it tends to be the students' union which gets it in the neck."
He said the object of the events seemed to be to drink as much as you could in the time allotted, and he urged local authorities to keep a tighter grip on activities.
Brighton Student Union president Naz Harrison told the BBC he was "very concerned" about the effect the events were having on people living in the town.
Do you think this company should have stricter regulations? how can a company who's job is to get student drunk out of their minds have regulations?
and second of all, why do (most) students (and people) feel like the only way they can have fun is by wrecking your liver while making an idiot out of yourself in the process, and spending pointless money on something you'll never see again, unless you throw it back up at the end of the night.
