My work originates from a curiosity to learn about the lasting effects of a legal psychoactive substance called Alcohol. As a college student and coming from a socially active family, I have come across plenty of scenarios related to the consumption of alcohol. Some of these situations have not ended as well as planned. These experiences have led me to develop options for enjoying and participating in safer drinking activities. My main concerns are centered around raising awareness of dangerous alcohol levels and lowering unnecessary risky actions. I believe I can do this by presenting people with knowledge on this subject, therefore enabling safer drinking experiences.

“Drink” is an interactive resource developed into an app that provides options for users to learn about an extensive variety of cocktails and mixed drinks. With this app, a user is able to interact with resources developed from personal experiences that consist of drink recipes, ideas, and personal tastes. Additionally, as a way to promote safety, the “Drink” app utilizes users’ personal information, that is saved in-app, in order to provide connectivity to ride sharing services. This helps transport people home or to their next location safely. “Drink” also answers questions from a variety of drinking scenarios in order to assist the user and help avoid potentially dangerous situations. Ultimately this app is a small contribution to the world and its people for a better life quality through modern and accessible means.
