Coming soon to monitors with integrated webcams: please drink verification can to continue working!

Actually, it's Sony's patent 8,246,454 which has that "interactive networked video game" feature (https://patents.google.com/patent/US8246454B2/en), and AFAIK there isn't a "drink verification can"-style patent yet.

Not sure if it's this one in question, or even from a real patent at all, but I think this is what GP was referencing; it made the rounds a few years back.

The verification can version specifically comes from 4chan: https://i.imgur.com/dgGvgKF.png
