I want this for beer.

If your question is "should I have a beer?" the answer is "yes"*

* unless you're driving

Oh come on boozehatemafia. I was actually serious. I do want this for beer. Being slightly tipsy is much nicer than being drunk.

You have a point. I'd like to know how to maintain that calm relaxed feeling without going off into the "I just want to take a nap" feeling from alcohol. Having that plotted would be quite interesting.

Honest question, can't you moderate yourself? I always have, but perhaps my body chemistry is such that it "works". I do have a pretty big "buffer". I can drink a relatively high quantity of alcohol and I've only been SICK once - never had a hangover.

I developed a similar app for Android about a year ago. Check it out...

Cool, thanks. Will add a link to the story.

Thanks. Price clarification: $1.00 in US. 1.00 GBP in UK (lowered from 1.28).

Also... there is a free ad supported version

The story of my life: Getting screwed over on dollar-to-pound conversions.

All prices now equivalent of 1 USD (0.64 GBP). Was experimenting with pricing, and had not set all back.

Is there something like this that's just a web app? I want it on my destkop.

Is there any reason apps like this have to be tied to a specific platform? Seems like this would be easily done in Javascript and distributed widely. I especially don't get the craze of putting simple things in iOS apps but not in web apps.

It's because people will pay money for the iOS app. I've met many people who, when asked that question, reply "I just like apps. Any time I find some website that I like, I check to see if they have an app". It's some sort of cultural thing.
