Now a company wants to allow you to send virtual gifts for real online.  You can send virtual drinks that are redeemable for real drinks at a bar that will get you yes drunk .  It’s turning virtual drinks into something more real and redeemable.  It’s like sending your friend a gift certificate virtually to go get drunk.  The company Give Real is trying to implement this system of virtual drinks into real drinks and is making their certificates valid at any drink establishment.

Give Real works in three easy steps
1. Choose a friend. Give a drink credit of $1 to $99, good towards a purchase at any Bar or Restaurant!
2. Style your gift by making a drink suggestion and adding a personal message.
3. Pay with a credit card to place your order. Your friend will immediately receive a gift notification via email, with instructions on how to redeem their Real Drink!

Already we’ve seen the Bar Tab application for Facebook that lets users send $1 certficates for alcohol which is however redeemable at only certain establishments.  The Get Real application should be universally accepted.  How? We’ll find out when we recieve the first $5 certificate we ordered to try out.  We’ll let you know how it went in a future post.

We are assuming some sort of card redemption service as it states on their main website: Use your registered card to make a purchase at any bar, restaurant, club, or café in the US!
