Treat a friend to a beer by SMS

Now there will be no more excuses when you say 'thanks - I owe you one' but never actually get round to buying your friend a drink. Launched in London, Buymeabeer.com sends your friend a drink gift voucher by SMS, reports Mike Grenville for 160characters.org.

"The service called BuyMeaBeer.com which means that you don't have to be in the same bar, town, city or even country as your friend to treat them to a drink.

To send your friend a drink you to order and pay for a drink online. The service then sends a simple text to your friend, with details of the gift, for them to take to the bar. The bar processes the code immediately as a live transaction with no vouchers for the bar to redeem at a later date.

The service is running in all 11 Corney & Barrow Wine Bars throughout London and discussions are in progress with three other major retailers and five major drinks brands. "
