Too Drunk? There's an App for that


Just in time for anyone who plans on throwing a few back to ring in the New Year. In Today's USA TODAY there is an article about an iPhone app that reads your blood alcohol level. "R-U-Buzzed" is a free app. And get this, it was created by the Colorado Department of Transportation (tax dollars going to something useful for a change.)

Stacey Stegman, spokeswoman for the Colorado DOT says, "We just wanted this to be used as a guide because most people don't realize that with just a few drinks your ability to drive may be hampered."

Of course, MADD has to weigh in. "We are not against the application but we believe it should be stressed that people should determine, before they start drinking, a sober, safe ride home," says CEO Charles Hurley
