Description
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Calculator
Have you heard that we process about a drink an hour? Well, not exactly. The type and size of the drinks, amount of food, and timing mean that rule of thumb doesn't work!
Know when you’ve reached your limit with IntoxiGraph. Avoid embarrassing or dangerous situations and expensive legal trouble. Simply input the drinks and food you eat and IntoxiGraph creates a personalized real-time graph of your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) to let you know when you’ve HAD ENOUGH. More than just fun and interesting – this tool can help you and your friends make better decisions while drinking.
IntoxiGraph contains one of the most sophisticated BAC simulations available on any platform. Did you know that food can delay the absorption of alcohol, thereby dramatically reducing your peak BAC? A large meal can reduce your peak BAC by half. IntoxiGraph incorporates the food you eat to provide a much more accurate calculation.
IntoxiGraph has four configurable profiles so you and up to three friends can use IntoxiGraph at the same time. One user said "...this will be one [app] I use...not just because of the info factor but it was a fun social app too. We had all kinds of people at the bar wanting updates from us as to how our graphs were doing as the night went on and had a great time." IntoxiGraph is better than breath testers in that it is more discreet and doesn't require mouthpieces, which can be messy and unsanitary.
FEATURES:
- Includes multiple food and drink items, their start time, and your height, weight, age, and gender.
- Database of over 500 mixed drinks, liquors, and beers.
- BONUS: includes over 120 popular mixed drink recipes.
- Metric and English (USA) units.
- Optional advanced parameters include body fat percentage and alcohol metabolism rate, for even more accuracy.
- And more!
DISCLAIMER
Do not drink and drive. Having your BAC under the legal limit does not mean you are safe to drive, nor does it mean you are safe legally. In most places (including the USA) you can still be convicted of DUI even if you are under the limit.
IntoxiGraph can inform you about alcohol processing, but you cannot rely on it for important decisions because though it may be accurate on average, it cannot be accurate for every individual and scenario. See the www.intoxigraph.com or the included help document for more information about accuracy.
What's New in Version 1.2
- Database update.
- Add reset button for shot size settings.
- Add support for Ireland, UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
Customer Reviews
Pretty useful and entertaining App
I downloaded this app because I wanted to be able to know my BAC when I went out to drink. Now, I can. The app delivers exactly what it promises: the opportunity to keep track of your drinks throughout the night (or let someone else keep track if you've had a few too many) and the ability to compute your BAC in real-time. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. There is an array of drinks at the bottom--you can select by name, volume, alcohol %, etc.--and graph taking up the majority of the screen which shows your current BAC and the trend over time. You have the ability to save up to 4 profiles (filtered by height, weight, gender, and even some advanced options), and you can even add in the amount of food you've eaten for a more accurate estimate. This app delivers exactly what it promises, and it's even fun outside of the bar, as I've played a little game filling in different drinks and trying to figure out what my BAC would be. This app is both practical and entertaining--something you can't say about very many apps in the app store--and definitely delivers for the price.
From the developer
IntoxiGraph is a high quality app that includes a state-of-the-art alcohol processing model. We put a lot of care into the development to make IntoxiGraph reliable and easy to use.
People aren't very good at estimating their own BAC. Most people feel the effects of alcohol early on, but then get used to the feeling quickly whereas their BAC declines slowly. Thus they end up thinking they're less intoxicated than they really are. Educating yourself about how your body processes alcohol can help you avoid drinking too much. Using IntoxiGraph while drinking gives you the information and opportunity to make better decisions.
Note that you don’t have to actually be drinking to use IntoxiGraph, of course. You can run “what if” scenarios or reenactments any time you want.
Many breath alcohol testers are unreliable. A published magazine article shows one device reading 0.01 when another was reading 0.06. Accurate ones can cost over $600. Compared to breath alcohol testers, IntoxiGraph is more economical, convenient to carry, discreet to use, and doesn't require mouthpieces, which can be messy and unsanitary.
Intoxigraph
The is the best BAC tracking tool yet. Allows you to add drinks and get a good estimate of safe BAC levels in real time. This is great for all of us with "drinking hobbies". All of the other apps I've seen do not show real time data, just time drinking and amount of drinks. Please add a "clear all" function.
