Many of us all love a good drink at the end of a hard day, but alcohol can often be more trouble than it’s worth if you’re not able to control yourself or simply can’t tell when you had enough until it’s too late. Driving under the influence is never a good decision and being completely wasted can often ruin your evening more than it makes it, so if you’re on the looking to keep your habit in check or stop drinking altogether, below you’ll find the ten best Android apps that will allow you to do so, all of which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store free of charge.
AlcoDroid Alcohol Tracker
AlcoDroid may look like it was designed half a decade ago and that’s because it was, but this is still a regularly updated mobile app compatible with all contemporary Android devices which will allow you to keep track of your approximate blood alcohol content in a relatively simple manner and let you know when it’s time to either stop drinking or give your car keys to your friend as a responsible person that you are.
Sober Time
Regardless of whether you want to stop drinking or just reduce the volume of alcohol you consume and the frequency at which you drink, Sober Time will help you keep track of precisely that – the time when you’re not under the influence. This SocioSoft-made tool can even be used for logging your nicotine-free periods and let you know what you have accomplished while staying away from other bad habits so if you need some digital motivation to start living a healthier life, Sober Time is a great help in doing so.
Drunk Werewolf vs Lucy Lee
That urge you have to continue drinking like there’s no tomorrow is essentially a fiend that you have to fight, so do it right now by hitting it in the head with a cactus or a lobster in this absolutely ridiculous and highly entertaining mobile game. And if you think creating a mobile RPG about a woman arming herself and learning karate to take revenge on her drunk husband is crazy, being that drunk is even more so, which is what this unconventional game will gladly remind you of.
Sober Grid
Just like its name suggests, Sober Grid is a social network for sober individuals looking to support one another by talking both online and in person, depending on one’s preferences.

Sure, you went on a night out and had one or ten too many; it happens, but that doesn’t mean you should try driving yourself home because such a decision is never worth it and you’re risking both your life and those of other people. Just hail an Uber and stay safe, you’ll thank yourself in the morning.
Sobriety Counter
Mario Hanna’s Sobriety Counter is far from the only Android app of its kind on the Google Play Store but it’s certainly the most colorful one, in addition to being designed for people who quit or are in the process of quitting drinking, as well as those who just want to consume alcohol in a responsible manner. Better yet, it’s packed with a plethora of educational content, optional gamified tracking mechanics, and is completely free, so there’s no reason not to try it yourself.
Hotel Tonight
If you’re intoxicated, far from home, and aren’t in the mood for being driven around, your best bet is to crash at a nearby hotel or motel with a room to spare.
