A condom machine activated by a breathlyser has been introduced in a bid to stop people having drunken sex.
The 'Johnny Be Good' vending machine has been installed in a London pub and will only dispense condoms to those who can prove they're sober.
Users will need to blow into the device and anyone under the legal driving limit will receive a free condom.
The initiative is being trialled at The Brass Monkey pub in Victoria by dating firm Match but has the possibility of a nationwide rollout.

It comes as a survey revealed that a third of people admit they don't have the confidence to sleep with someone for the first time when completely sober.
It also found 73% of British singles find alcohol makes a date easier, with 10% having a tipple on every date and 58% of them involving alcohol.

The research revealed that without alcohol singles find dates tricky or nerve-wracking and four in ten recent sexual experiences have taken place under the influence.
A further third don't have the confidence to get naked in the bedroom without having booze beforehand.

Men are least likely to have sober sex, with almost half drinking beforehand compared to 36% of women.
Madeleine Mason, dating psychologist, said: "The feeling of fear and anxiety usually lies behind the lack of confidence people are experiencing, which from a physiological perspective is an activation of the nervous system (breathing and heart beat speeds up creating a form of arousal).
"The impulse is to calm the nervous system down by consuming alcohol."
Kate Taylor, dating expert for dating website Match, which commissioned the survey and condom machine, said: "This is sobering news. Brits' reliance on alcohol for dating suggests that almost none of us has the confidence to express ourselves without a drink.
"Try not to hide your shyness behind a shandy. Instead, learn to love your imperfections and trust that others will love them too, even over just a coffee."
