f you need your cellphone to decide if you've had one too many, that's probably
a sign you should call a cab or car service. Nevertheless, the state of
Maryland has just launched an app (funded by the federal National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration), that will tell you your
approximate blood alcohol content (BAC), test your reflexes and even
help get you home safely. If you're a 130-pound woman who had a glass of
wine, for instance, it'll show about a .04 BAC -- one drink below the
limit, and already an unsafe level for the road. It'll also test your
reaction time with memory games and a simulator that makes you brake for
pedestrians. When the app determines you've had too many (or any, for
that matter), it'll get you the number for a cab or preset designated
driver. An official said the goal is to take the "brainwork" out of
drinking and add some common sense to situations where none may exist.
