Review summary

Virtual Bar is an informative and educational BAC calculator app that effectively simulates alcohol impairment and legal limits. Users appreciate its detailed explanations and find it useful for social drinking awareness. However, common complaints include limited drink and food options, inability to remove individual drinks without resetting, interface usability problems like scrolling and menu issues, and restrictions such as a fixed minimum legal drinking age of 21. Despite some glitches, many users find it accurate and beneficial when used correctly.

2025-03-05	Fo*****	I'm a heavy drinker, and this app is of very little use to me. I have a BAC tester (they're cheap, get one) and five drinks in two hours does not get me close to .08%. Half that, in fact. But I never drive unless I've literally only had one beer or glass of wine, and even then I'd rather take the bus.

2024-11-20	Th*****	A simulator to guide yourself into knowing where you can start driving after drinking. I think it sounds like its known how long after one takes to get all the alcohol out of the system as they had advertising saying, "Not a drop."
