Holiday ‘get out of jail free’ iPhone app

Posted on 24. Nov, 2008 by Jonathan Cherry in Technology

Getting behind the wheel after downing a couple of Stroh rum and Coke Zeros may have been all the rage last year, but according to Carte Blanche and a few other of our trusted sources – the cops aren’t going to take to kindly to your festive cheers this holiday season.

What’s needed – maybe some handy technology that can indicate just how over the limit you might be and hopefully prevent you from making use of the official police ‘blow harder’ version.

Last Call is a handy iPhone app which will tell you whether it’s time to hit the java…or another chilled beverage is still permissable.
No blowing necessary – it calculates your weight vs the number of tequila slammers you’ve knocked back in the last hour and gives you an estimated blood/alcohol reading that you can then show the barman when you order another drink.

If you’re drunk – the phone will give you the option of dialing a taxi or a lawyer to argue with [seriously].

Alas – it’s presently only available for the iPhone via their iTunes app store, [which doesn't help too many party loving South Africans] but hopefully somebody with an advertising budget [hint hint SAB or Brandhouse - call us if you need help] destined to add value to the mobile phone owning public will take the gap and offer a free branded version to us all.

Download it here [iTunes]
