A social drinking app by the name of Skosh is taking social drinking to new heights and distances. This app allows users to buy a round of drinks for their friends no matter how far apart they are.
Through the use of Twitter, this social drinking app lets its users send various drinks to friends whether it be across the bar or from another city. With instant access to the user's friends, family and followers, users only have to select the person they wish to send a drink to as well as the drink. The receiver is then sent a tweet with a link on how to redeem their drink. If the bar and/or restaurant is a participating organization, they will validate the link info and gift the receiver with their drink.
The Skosh drinking app knows no distance when it comes to social drinking.
