What does the app do?
This app helps users keep track of their alcohol consumption. Users log each drink they have and a graph shows their estimated blood alcohol volume over time (based on weight and gender) including an estimate of when they can expect to be sober. The app allows users to set goals and track the costs of drinking. Alcohol use data can be shared or exported. The app also provides some basic information about the effects of different levels of alcohol on behaviour. For a more detailed description of the app, see Google Play(external link) or, for a more detailed review, see Reviews.
