AlcoTrack - BAC tracker & diary

AlcoTrack serves as a comprehensive tool combining a blood alcohol content (BAC) calculator, an alcohol consumption tracker, and a drinking diary. Users can estimate their current BAC through self-reported data regarding their drinking habits. Additionally, the app has options for tracking the costs and calories associated with beverages, offering insights into one’s overall drinking patterns. It features a sober day counter that also presents challenges aimed at encouraging users to adopt healthier drinking practices.

This app has been highlighted as a top recommended alcohol tracking tool for celebrations such as New Year’s Eve.

DISCLAIMER

AlcoTrack: BAC Calculator & Alcohol Tracker is designed to assist users in monitoring their drinking habits, evaluating their alcohol consumption, and estimating their BAC. Keep in mind that individual factors can cause variations in BAC, so this app is intended only for rough estimates. AlcoTrack should not be considered a replacement for a breathalyzer or any formal alcohol testing methods. Always refrain from drinking and driving!

My Unexpected Sobriety Coach: How AlcoTrack Turned Data into Real Change

AlcoTrack didn’t just log my drinks—it transformed my relationship with alcohol through brutally honest, science-backed insights. During a friend’s wedding weekend, the DrunkProtect feature intercepted a rambling 2 AM text to my boss—an actual career-saver. But the real revelation came from the line graph visualizations: seeing my BAC spike violently after "just three cocktails" exposed how mixers and dehydration amplified intoxication, something breathalyzers never taught me. 

I became obsessed with the calorie counter (750 empty calories per week from wine?!), while the sober challenges gamified moderation—unlocking the "Tectotaler" achievement after 14 dry days felt strangely triumphant. The Material Design overhaul made logging effortless—one tap for craft beers or IBA cocktails like the Aviation—and the dark mode was a lifesaver for bleary-eyed mornings. This isn’t just stats; it’s behavioral science with fangs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: How accurate is the BAC calculation without a breathalyzer?

A: It estimates based on weight, gender, metabolism, and drink strength—great for spotting trends(e.g., "2 beers hit me harder than before"). But always treat it as a guide, not a legal tool. Discrepancies can occur.

Q: Does DrunkProtect really block inappropriate messages?

A: Yes! With overlay permissions, it can lock messaging apps when BAC exceeds your set limit (e.g., 0.06%). Test it sober first to customize safeguards—it won’t auto-send apologies, just prevents regrets!

Q: Can I track custom drinks like homemade cocktails?

A: Absolutely. Create presets with exact ABV/volume. Saved my bacon with chaotic punch bowls at BBQs. Pro tip: Snap a photo of the bottle for later reference.

Q: Do permissions invade privacy?

A: All sensitive permissions (contacts, accessibility) are optional—skip them, and core BAC/diary features still work flawlessly. Storage access is purely for backups.

Q: How motivating are the challenges?

A: Surprisingly effective. "Weekday Warrior" (no drinks Mon-Thu) and "Cost Saver" alerts shaved 40% off my monthly alcohol spend. The achievement badges tap into genuine dopamine hits!
