Mumbai Traffic Police: Blood Coasters

"The coasters were printed using a special invisible red ink, which spreads only when moistened. The Mumbai Traffic Police placed at tables and bar counters in Mumbai's prominent bars. When a customer places their moist glass of alcohol on it, the red ink starts spreading and the face starts to bleed."

I think that this would be a good idea for U.S. and other countries to follow, but don't think that it will catch on as bar owners want folks to drink their money away. But again the drinkers can't spend money in the bars if they are in the hospital or in worse condition.

As original poster of this post, I would like to see it spread far and wide. If you wish to drink that fine (your body will let you know one day when drinking is a bad idea) But we need activist get home safe and sound, with nothing more than a hangover at the worst.

If you feel the need to drink get some one to drive you home or to the BART. But remember bike riding while drunk can also be fatal. Try to survive. We have enough people that don't want us active, lets not do our selves in. The only good activist is one that is alive.

As this originally came from India, getting the process to cause the moisture from the wet glasses or bottles to turn the coasters red might be a problem. But think how it could be incorporated into an anti-war banner or on a "Bring the troops back ALIVE" Freeway over pass sign some raining morning during rush (parking) hour. Sitting and watching the blood run down the photos of US Solders and civilians.

If anyone can duplicate the process, please post it, I know there are chem majors that could help out this way. Be ACTIVE, not just reading emails and articles. So if you can figure out how to do this email and I will see about getting it into action

Peace, gregor
