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

Now there are growing calls for Clark to step aside. According to the Wall Street Journal, the 80 year old Clark just makes us all feel old.
You have to admire Clark who has been ringing in the New Year since 1972, and he certainly has plenty of supporters. Larry Klein, the show's longtime producer says, "He created the show. He's an American institution. He deserves to decide on his own when and if he'll leave."
