(Bangkok, Thailand) The Nation: Before gaining entry to a pub, one has to display an identification card. However, the next time just your finger will do. A new technology using a fingerprint scan has been developed to help verify the age of pub patrons. The technology has been launched by Diageo Moet Hennessy, a leading importer and distributor of premium alcoholic beverages, which was formerly known as Riche Monde. The project involved establishing fingerprint scan kiosks at the gates of popular pubs. The kiosk will be used by pubs to verify that their patrons' age is above 20 - the legal requirement to enter a pub in Thailand.
