Electronic Beer Coaster
Like I need an electronic beer coaster to tell the bartender I need a re-fill.

It's a great novelty idea, but it encourages and enables the bartender to more easily get the patron tanked (often the patrons intention anyway, me included sometimes, nothing wrong with that 
). Sadly, in this day and age of blood sucking lawyers, I can just see the bar getting sued for overserving the guy before he left and got in a car wreck. On the other hand, this thing might go over well in another country that doesn't have the lawyer problem

Maybe with nano-electronics, to make it thin.
As for the 1/2 drunk barfly trying to set his/her beer on the coaster; they'll knock it over, and the the bar tender will sell them another beer.

It's a stupid idea. I tended bar for about 15 years, and took great pride in my ability to work the bar. If a bartender is doing his job, making his way up and down the bar, he's going to notice an empty mug and offer to refill it. that's how bartenders make a living- customer service.
