Listen, CES 2026 is full of AI gadgets, and a lot of them are kind of the same. Some AI gadgets transcribe things; some help you game; some remember your favorite color or whatever. But only one—one—to my knowledge can get you drunk.

The R1, which caught my eye at CES 2026, is what a company called Breakreal is billing as an “AI bartender,” which is probably exactly what you think it is. It’s like a Bartesian cocktail machine, but it uses AI to slop up your cocktail with a little AI personalization. With the R1, you can use a companion app to have the device make you a personalized cocktail catered to your mood, or preference of alcohol. You can even tell it to just shut up and make you a good ol’ fashioned old-fashioned.
