When Will I Be Sober?

When Will I Be Sober is an online alcohol units calculator, that tells you when you should avoid driving until, after a big night out/lively lunch/depressing breakfast.

It’s designed to be a) good looking and b) simple enough that severely hungover people can operate it.

Site is currently on version 0.8. Check it out currently at http://whenwillibesober.com, and see where its going with the roadmap below

Roadmap

0.1  - Plan site, work out functionality.
0.2 – Come up with basic design.
0.3 – Build design in HTML & CSS.
0.4 – Throw in AJAX functionality, and PHP.
0.5 – Generate “When” section with correct times, and hunt out bugs.
0.6 – Add a disclaimer and explanation to “Why” section.

0.7 – Add database input, to save all tests done.
0.8 – Add a “Who” section, draw a lovely graph from all the database data.
0.9 – Add social media, and contact drinkaware.co.uk, and other campaigns, get some cross links going.
1.0 – Massive corporate sponsorship: Aiming for a huge header banner, at least 600 pixels high, advertising Jack Daniels. Retire.

    Hi, I am doing an alcohol abuse project for my second year ICT project at college. I was wondering whether it would be possible to include this in project, solely for that purpose and for no commercial or other use. If not possible if there anywhere you can reccomend to show me how to create this calculator if not to complicated or another site which would allow me to use the calculator.

    Many thanks

      Hey Josh. I’d be happy to let you have the source code. It’s a fairly simple php based calculation, based on average strengths and volumes of alcoholic drinks. Send me your email address through the contact form, and I’ll send it your way…

      Hey Chris
      Thanks a lot, that would be much appreciated. Hopefully should not be too complicated to put in to Flash.

      Thanks

Have your say...
