I never got the whole carry-your-own-breathalyser thing. If you are going to drive, just don’t drink. And if you are not going to drive, who cares. I measure my alcohol levels by the next morning’s hangover and/or the distance from the bed I wake up in to my house. But since some people have to drink and drive, the duiPhone breathalyser hack for the iPhone seems like a good one. [Tellart--Thanks M.]
Similar to other drunk-calculating iPhone apps, Last Call determines how smashed you are by your weight and how many drinks you’ve knocked back. However, unlike all those other apps, it’s free, it also calculates your drunkenness by the specific type of alcoholic beverage you’ve consumed, and it gives you options on what to do next now that you’re super drunk. If you’ve had a few too many drinks to drive, you can press a button on the app that’ll call a taxi for you. And if you’ve disregarded the taxi button, there’s another button that’ll help you to find a local lawyer for when you get that DUI, tsk tsk. [Wired]
Those of you with a Windows Mobile phone in the audience just lucked out, because a new, extra classy mobile phone game is on the way. It’s called DUI: The Long Drive Home, and it puts your drunk driving skills to the test through the magic of your phone’s camera and an exciting progression of minigames!
