iPhone App Of The Week: DrinkTracker

This app is touted as an iPhone breathalyzer. I’m not sure I agree with that statement (more of a novelty feature), but the rest of the app does have its merits. The basic concept is after inputting your type and number of drinks over a certain time period, it will show your estimated blood alcohol level (you have to input physical features first like your height, age, weight, sex, etc).

You can download the app ($1.99) via iTunes at the following link:

There’s a video of the app in action after the break.

You can also set up alerts so once you go over a certain BAC (call it 0.08), you don’t have to worry about that whole drink ‘n driving thing. I’m sure most will use more as a novelty app (and something to show the Taco Bell drive thru attendant while laughing hysterically), but do commend them for their humanitarianism.

Here are a few features from their website:

Features

BAC calculated and displayed in real time, even when the app is turned off. No manual refreshing or re-inputting required.

Supports Imperial, US and Metric measurement systems.

Store and retain editable profiles (age, height, weight, gender) for multiple drinkers.

A target BAC can also be set for each profile, with a countdown timer showing how long before the target BAC is reached. BAC display is colour coded to show when BAC target has been reached.

Add your own favourite drinks to “My Drinks” for fast and easy selection later on. All drink details are fully editable at any time. Manually sort your drink list into the order you want.

Add drinks to the current session now or at a previous time. You can also remove drinks after they’ve been added if you make a mistake.

Full report on current drinking session including duration, details of drinks consumed and time left to reach target BAC.
