Like me, you will probably unwind over the holidays and have a few drinks at a party with friends (or alone while crying in the dark). Just keep these tragic stories about mixing gadgets and booze in mind.

"Bomber" Marr was arrested and charged with felony DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle for driving a Cruzin' Cooler (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/cruzin-cooler-177963.php) while intoxicated. Who could have seen that coming? [Link (http://gizmodo.com/5014392/cruzin-cooler-operator-gets-charged-with-dwi)]

Miller, of Cincinnati passed into ironic infamy this past Halloween when he was busted for DWI while wearing a breathalyzer costume.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/12/carjump.jpgTake note: your ability to evade the police in your car diminishes greatly when you are intoxicated. Case in point, the 18-year old girl in Jackson, Michigan that was chased down and busted by a cop on a Segway.

Take 22-year old David Robinson for example. Last month he was charged in Perth, Scotland with breaching the peace after he threatened passersby and challenged a lamp post to a fight.
