Think you might be too drunk to drive tonight? There's an app for that!
Download Squad doesn't condone irresponsible levels of alcohol consumption - at least not without a plan for how you're getting home - but we know that it happens sometimes. Fortunately, you're likely to have your phone with you when you're drinking, and there's a new, geeky way to determine whether you've had one too many to drive safely. Yes, my friends, there's an app for that: R-U-Buzzed.It's not a breathalyzer attachment for the iPhone, as cool as that would be. No, R-U-Buzzed is just a calculator based on your height, weight, and what you've had to drink that night. If you're sober enough to put that information in, the (free) app will tell you whether you can drive safely. Ok, I get that this seems pretty useless. Someone who really can't drive safely probably can't operate an iPhone app, either. On the other hand, even seeing the app on your home screen might remind you to call a cab. In fact, the app can even call a cab for you, if you live in Colorado. If you don't, it at least offers links to cab numbers in your area.
Be safe on the road this New Year's, Download Squad readers. We're happy you've visited our site this year, and we sure wouldn't want to lose you. Besides, there's still no app for the jaws of life.
