The app is available for Android devices on Google Play, and Apple devices on the iTunes store.
It is against the law in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to drive a vehicle while legally drunk, with a blood alcohol concentration BAC of .08 or higher. All states prohibit anyone under the age of 21 to drink and drive with any alcohol in their system.
