CountDrinkAn app to help you manage your nights out

Why?!

• This is not an app for people to keep track of their spending or track the different types of drinks they drink throughout the night

• This app is designed for people who want to control their nights out so that all nights are good nights

• The point when a good night becomes messy is what we want to help people control

At what point do you stop?

• With spending, it stops when you run out of money.

• With drinking, it stops when you run out of money or out of time (bar closes)

• We can replicated this limited resource effect with the why we count the number of drinks

How it works?

• Instead of adding to our count of drinks consume, we are taking a different approach where we have a limited number of drinks in one night and take away a drink when one is consumed.

• Rather than giving you a limitless feeling of counting up, we want to change the psychology that you are running out of drinks or approaching the end

Tracking

• To simplify your tracking we consider a beer and a shot to be the same thing.

• A drink is a drink by the end of the night. Can you select the correct drink to track when it is late into the night?
