I developed a similar app for Android about a year ago. Check it out...

Cool, thanks. Will add a link to the story.

Thanks. Price clarification: $1.00 in US. 1.00 GBP in UK (lowered from 1.28).

Also... there is a free ad supported version

The story of my life: Getting screwed over on dollar-to-pound conversions.

All prices now equivalent of 1 USD (0.64 GBP). Was experimenting with pricing, and had not set all back.

Is there any reason apps like this have to be tied to a specific platform? Seems like this would be easily done in Javascript and distributed widely. I especially don't get the craze of putting simple things in iOS apps but not in web apps.

I want this for beer.

App coming for all major mobile flavors.

Oh come on boozehatemafia. I was actually serious. I do want this for beer. Being slightly tipsy is much nicer than being drunk.

Honest question, can't you moderate yourself? I always have, but perhaps my body chemistry is such that it "works". I do have a pretty big "buffer". I can drink a relatively high quantity of alcohol and I've only been SICK once - never had a hangover.

You have a point. I'd like to know how to maintain that calm relaxed feeling without going off into the "I just want to take a nap" feeling from alcohol. Having that plotted would be quite interesting.

If your question is "should I have a beer?" the answer is "yes"*
