Either that, or one less reason to have a child:

Japanese beer maker Asahi plans to give away 5000 personal bartending bots, each of which can store up to six cans of beer in a refrigerated compartment within its belly. At the push of a button the simple robots will open a can and pour the chilled contents into a glass for a thirsty owner.

Then again, you do have to load the thing from time to time, so I guess the wife and kids will come in handy, at least occasionally.

Oink oink oink.
