SANTA FE -- New Mexico has taken its fight against drunken driving to men's restrooms around the state.

The state has ordered 500 talking urinal cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-DWI message to bar and restaurant patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel.

The top of the devices feature the state DWI slogan -- "You drink, you drive, you lose."

Some Albuquerque bars installed the devices this week.

And the state Transportation Department plans to distribute them to Santa Fe bars and restaurants as well as establishments in Farmington, Gallup and Las Cruces.

The state spent $21 for each talking urinal cake for the pilot program but will ask bars and restaurants to pay for future orders if the idea catches on.

The cakes have enough battery power to last about three months.

To someone who drives drunk, what would give them a bigger kick than pissing all over these things. I remember when there were little mats in the urinal that said "Don't do drugs." I thought it was hilarious that they would put that in the urinal for me to piss all over. This won't sway people who will be driving drunk, as it didn't sway me away from doing what I wanted back in high school.
