Meeting someone out can be great, but invite them back to your pad, and you've got 25 awkward minutes in a cab to worry about them sobering up enough to realize you weren't joking about sharing that studio with your "cool uncle". So lose the cab and extend the party, with Booze Croozer.

Booze Croozer's a small-fleet limo company that saves you money (and keeps you tipsy) thanks to both a pricing structure similar to a taxi service (i.e., you can call them to pick you up at any time, and they charge by distance, rather than hour), and being stocked with all-you-can-drink-on-your-journey booze, all started by a Michigan man inspired by "a similar service in Detroit", making that the first time anyone has ever said that. Right now, he's got two cars (one a Cadillac DeVille, the other a Lincoln Town Car), both of which can seat up to six people and come fully loaded with all the important stuff: a TV, a CD player, leather seating, head rail lighting, and a lit, iced bar stocked with rum, whiskey, vodka, cola, diet cola, and water, but no beer -- because you don't need to go crazy. All they ask for's about 45 min notice, and they'll take you wherever you want within 25 miles of downtown using their unusual pricing structure: $19.99 to get in, and 99¢ per 1/10mile; the best part of the whole thing is that their booze is even legal to drink after last call, due to the little known ordinance of "shhhhhhh".

They've also got a second fleet that's less expensive, but doesn't come with its own booze, though you can BYO, which your Uncle Murray really appreciates now that he's discovered the portable wonder that is "jello shots".
