A drink tracker with a pharmacokinetic model

Log a drink and CheersCount draws your estimated blood alcohol curve, shaped by what you ate and drank, with an honest ±25% margin.

How the estimate works

How it works

From a drink log to a curve.

  1. 01

    Log a drink

    Tap it as you have it, or add it later. Sessions start and end on their own, so there's nothing to manage.

  2. 02

    Add what you ate

    A meal slows absorption and lowers the estimated peak. Pick light, medium or heavy, or enter your own calories.

  3. 03

    Read the estimate

    See the estimated value now, the peak, and when you'll be back at zero, with a band instead of false precision.

Features

More than a drink count.

A clear record of the evening, with the details that change the estimate.

Food-aware estimate

Dinner belongs in the curve.

Log a meal and see how it changes the estimated rise and peak. The model accounts for food instead of treating every drink as if it hit your blood at once.

  • Meal size, or your own calorie estimate
  • Caloric drinks count as food too
  • Drink strength changes how fast alcohol is absorbed

Personal calibration

Use your own readings.

Own a breathalyzer? Two readings on the way down can fit your personal elimination rate. Until then, the estimate uses a population average.

  • Two readings, at least 20 minutes apart
  • Pooled across nights, so one odd reading cannot skew it
  • Clamped to a plausible range

Made for a shared table

Keep the whole evening together.

Start a hangout, log a round for the table, and include friends who haven't installed the app.

  • One tap logs a round for everyone
  • Friends without the app can still be counted
  • Everyone sees their own estimate, nobody gets ranked

The method, in plain language

A useful estimate should show its limits.

CheersCount models absorption, distribution and elimination over time. Food and drink strength shape the curve, and your own readings can calibrate its elimination rate.

Model
First-order absorption, Widmark elimination, Seidl distribution volume.
Food
Meal calories affect gastric emptying and the estimated peak.
Variation
Individual results vary roughly ±20-30% from population models.

An estimate, not a test

It's an educational estimate, not a measurement or a fitness-to-drive test. When in doubt, don't drive.

Built in Austria

Made by one person, paid for by Pro.

I'm Andreas, and I build CheersCount on my own in Austria.

I wanted a drink tracker that treats an evening as something to understand rather than something to be scolded for, and that shows its uncertainty instead of hiding it. There's no coaching, no score and no streak to lose.

If something's wrong or missing, write to me at support@cheerscount.com. It comes straight to me.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

How does the blood alcohol estimate work?

It models alcohol absorption, distribution and elimination over time, using drink details, food and your profile. A personal elimination rate can be fitted from breathalyzer readings.

How precise is the estimate?

It's an estimate, not a measurement. Individual results can vary roughly ±20-30% from a population model, so the app shows an uncertainty band rather than presenting the value as exact.

Can I use it to decide whether I can drive?

No. CheersCount can't tell you whether you're fit or legally allowed to drive. Don't use an estimate for that decision.

Do I need an account to try it?

No. You can try CheersCount without creating an account. Your local profile and its data can later be carried into an account.

Does it work on an iPhone?

Yes, in Safari: open the web app and add it to your home screen. There's no App Store app yet. On Android you can use the Play Store app or the web app.

What is free and what is Pro?

Drink logging, history, goals, the estimate and time until zero, calibration and hangouts are free, and the curve of a finished night stays free too. Pro adds the live curve while the night is on, unlimited templates, custom icons, expense tracking, chat and posting stories.
