App to scan drink, understand limits, and track blood alcohol – is it useful?

Hey everyone, I had this app idea which you can try out here

The goal is to make moderate drinking easier to achieve by enabling you to scan your drink, get an instant estimate of how much alcohol is in it, and log this against estimated limits for ‘low risk’ alcohol consumption. You can also see your estimated blood alcohol concentration and some info on how that might affect you.

It’s just an idea at the moment and the prototype is pretty basic, but the main ideas are there. Is it useful? Please feel free to give it a try and leave any feedback. The prototype will be available to the public for 1 week. If there is enough interest I would consider making this app for real.

Just a few notes:

The idea is for an actual mobile app but the prototype is on the web to make testing easier – opening it in your mobile browser will give you the best approximation of the app experience This app is not designed to help you stop drinking – it’s intended for adults who just want to keep their drinking within reasonable limits and are not experiencing alcohol dependency issues. There are better apps out there to help with things like dependency and going sober if that is what you are interested in (Reframe, MyDrinkAware App are a couple)

Cheers!
