Really does help with problematic drinking – Stay in the Blue Review

I have a long history of binge drinking to extreme excess, and this app has really helped me keep control on my drinking. I use it almost every time I drink because it is so helpful. Being able to see on a little graph how far you are is helpful, as it’s easy to down drinks without realizing the future consequences. I know this seems like a stupid app made by UofM to stop binge drinking, but it is helpful for those of us who struggle with binge drinking. If you have a history of extreme intoxication (like ending up in the hospital as I have), I highly recommend. The only thing is that the drink categories are a little weird, like some drinks I’ve never heard of and can’t find through Google (like Angry Ogre (which might be a typo of Angry Orchard?)) and could be updated to include Four Loko’s and hard seltzer’s. Furthermore, an option to customize your drink w/ ABV could be helpful, because even for wine some wines are 5% and some are 15%, and there could be a serving guide to go with it. I know it’s a lot to ask, but to be able to search for your specific Franzia wine or hard cider could make things more accurate. The only other complaint I have is that it’s sometimes hard to track your log when you’re testing potential drink additions, like sometimes I see what my ABV could be with another glass of wine, but each test makes it harder to see what I have actually drank. If there could be a feature to test what each drink would add to my BAC that’d be great. Anyways, this is a great app, especially for those like me who binge too much like me.
