Chicago DUI lawyer thinks the iphone's DUI App is pretty nice


Disclosure: I do not own an iphone.

This Chicago DUI laywer has been inundated by the folks on Twitter, Facebook, and in the virtual world who will never give up their iphones, although they hate the phone service provider. This week many of them updated their phones or purchased new sets for 3G service. I doubt they know that there is an app available that will help them track their drinks in order to avoid a DUI.


DrinkTracker Breathalyzer is a user-friendly app developed by slappmedot.com. When you enter what you have had to drink and at what time, DrinkTracker Breathalyzer calculates your blood alcohol content (BAC). Your BAC is based on your profile where you enter your gender, height and weight. The default measurements are in metrics, but you have the option to switch to U.S. or Imperial.

DrinkTracker Breathalyzer is easy to use and allows you to add multiple profiles, though from what I can tell you can only track drinks for one person at a time. DrinkTracker Breathalyzer gives you a list of generic drinks to choose from – wine, beer, and liquor – that includes the amount you drank and the percent of alcohol in each drink. You can also add and save your own drinks.

A few people who could have avoided a DUI include NFL players, parents* (with children in the car), educators*, Chicago Police Officers, even presidents*- if they'd had access to this little application. Why not let technology improve your decision making?


* These specific examples are a bit tongue in cheek because the iphone was not released until after their arrests, but you get the point, right?
