An Israeli company is set to test the stereotype that Jews can't handle their drink by offering free beers - simply by raising your glass.

After downloading the Glassify app, drinkers will be able to pass their smartphone under their microchipped glass.

Once linked to the app - which can also be used for spirits and non-alcoholic drinks - Glassify will track when, where and who you drink with.

Developed by the Tel-Aviv-based Weissbeerger company, "the app on tap" can present customers with personalised incentives to continue drinking, and even call them a taxi home.
