If you enjoy drinking—and since you’re reading this story we’re going to assume that you do—you’ll be happy to hear there are plenty of apps to help you out. Whether it’s finding the right place to hit a beer run, figuring out if you are safe to drive or just learning exactly what the heck is in a Harvey Wallbanger, your smartphone has you covered. Don’t leave the world of the sober without these essential alcohol-related apps.
Liquor Run Mobile
How many times has this happened to you? You’re heading off to get booze and your favorite corner store is closed or doesn’t have what you need. Worst of all, you could be in a strange and foreign land, looking for something to imbibe after a long day of… imbibing? Fear not: Liquor Run Mobile will not only tell you where the nearest liquor stores are, it will also, crucially, tell you how late they’re open.
BeerCloud
BeerCloud is a beer lover’s dream come true. This interactive database allows you to check out what other people are saying about the beer in your hand merely by scanning a bar code. Have a favorite sauce that’s hard to find? BeerCloud will tell you where to get it. Bonus: the Beer Sommelier feature will tell you what foods pair well with whatever you’re drinking.
ScotchHunter
When you’re a Scotch aficionado, you know what you want, but you might not always know how to seek it out. Cue ScotchHunter. You put in what region, flavor and price range you’re looking for, it spits out a brand name. It also allows you to keep your Scotch journal on your phone. Yeah, dudes, Scotch guys keep journals. They’re actually about the taste of Scotch, not drinking until you black out and wake up in a jail cell.
