DrinkOrDrive is a blood alcohol level calculator for mobile phones. This application helps you to calculate the next safety drive time based on the given drinks. At any time you''re able to close and restart the application, because it stores every data.
The application supports favourite drink list, quick choice list, drink history, and eatings. It''s very useful after a big/little drinking. The Status screen informs that you can drive or not. In the Don''t Drive case this screen informs you about the next safety drive time, the current blood alcohol level (in gramms and thousandths), and shows a diagram about the blood alcohol level changes. You can go to the main menu by pressing any key, except the joystick. The Status screen appears a little different in smaller screens.
First start
At the first start you must select the measure system that you use. It can be metric (most cases), UK or US. Examples for the selected measure system are shown in the screen. The default quantities will initialize based on this setting, but you can change them later. Than you arrive to the Settings/Profile menu automaticly, where you must set your weight (in kg or lbs), height (in cm or feet) and sex. After accepting the warning message, you arrive to the main menu.
Status screen
The Status screen informs that you can drive or not. In the Don't Drive case this screen informs you about the next safety drive time, the current blood alcohol level (in gramms and thousandths), and shows a diagram about the blood alcohol level changes. You can go to the main menu by pressing any key, except the joystick. The diagram shows you the blood alcohol level changes depend on the time. Every column represent a quarter hour (this is the smallest unit for calculating). The shown diagram takes from the begining of the drinking to the total alcohol degradation. You can zoom in and out (joy down/up), and move it by using joy left/right buttons. The colums are mostly yellow, except the one what represent the current time, which is green. The empty columns with yellow dotted border represents an eating if needed. The Status screen appears a little different in smaller screens. In that cases the Safe Drive/Don't Drive text is shown on the left top corner, and the spaces between the rows are smaller. It's because of the better visibility of the diagram. This screen is available from the main menu with the specified softkey. If there's drinking datas at application startup, this screen will show first automaticly.
