Track Your Festive Drinking With Your Mobile

A new mobile phone application that helps people to keep track of their drinking during the festive period was launched today by the Public Health Minister Gillian Merron.

To coincide with the start of the Christmas period, the Department of Health has released the first official alcohol tracker application for mobile phones. Available from iTunes and www.nhs.uk it helps people to:

Work out how many alcoholic units there are in a glass of wine or pint of beer for example;
See how much alcohol they have consumed over a set period, such as a week or month;
Get personalised feedback on their drinking habits;
Find local NHS clinics and advice centres.
