Know The Signs Breathalyzer iPhone app from Heineken

Golden Gekko develops iPhone app for Heineken to increase drinking awareness.

We all know someone who sometimes has one too many to drink on a night out. Whether they transform into a Fighter, an Exhibitionist, a Groper, a Flirt, a Sleeper, a Crier or a Stumbler, you can be sure they’re going to cause you problems.

Now if your friend starts to show the signs of turning into one of these characters, you can use the Heineken Breathalyzer before things get out of hand.

All you need to do is pre-set it to one of the seven characters before handing the breathalyzer over to your friend. Ask them to blow into the phone’s microphone and watch their face as they fail dramatically.

Not only will your friend get the message that they’ve had one too many, but they’ll also know what you really think they’re like on a night out!
