"Thanks to our iPhones and some innovative technology from a host of companies, we now have it in our power to know without a doubt if we've had too much to drink."

The Unofficial Apple Weblog posted this recently, along with a review of the BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer and it's most salient features.
