Tweet-Powered Budweiser Robot Knits Sweaters for Designated Drivers

Not sure how to thank the friend willing to drive your sloshed self home from the company Christmas party? (And let’s face it, they totally deserve a token of gratitude after spending the entirety of the trip dealing with your increasingly panicked attempts to blot a beer stain out of your cocktail dress while complaining about the passive-aggressive coworker who totally splashed you on purpose.) Forget gas money or a hand-written note of sincere apology; Budweiser has a better idea.
