What does the app do?
This app helps you keep track of the amount of alcohol you drink and how often. It uses a drinks diary in which you can log your drinks and use the chart function to observe your drinking habits in the last 24 hours, last 7 days, the last 30 days and when you've reached the binge drinking level. The app also helps you to calculate the financial cost of your alcohol consumption. For a more detailed description of the app, see iTunes and for a detailed review, see Reviews.
