We've all been there: you're hours deep in a friendly get together, poker game, or Android Police podcast. Suddenly disaster strikes - your spirits run out, both literally and figuratively. If you've got the brand new Drizly app for Android, you can resupply your booze in under an hour without ever having to leave the house. Unfortunately, this incredible service is only available in very specific parts of Boston, Manhattan, and Brooklyn for the time being.

The app is pretty simple, just input your location and payment information (they'll check to make sure you're 21) and pick out the beer, wine, or hard liquor you want. Pay the tab and tip the driver, and it will be at your house in "20 to 40 minutes." The prices are the same as at your local liquor store, because that's where the supply is coming from: Drizly doesn't actually deliver booze itself, it simply sends orders to local stores that already have a delivery service. The store even processes the credit card order. Stores pay Drizly a monthly fee in the hopes of attracting sales and customers, so the cost to end users is nothing more than the sale price of the alcohol and a tip.

Drinkers in Boston and New York, raise a glass to Drizly... everyone else, start begging them to come to your neighborhood.
