Livr: This social network unlocks features the more drunk you get
Livr: This social network unlocks features the more drunk you get
Most social networking services are a sea of inane comments on people’s pictures of their pets or children. Or both. But Livr, a social network for drinking and socializing promises to be different.

For one thing, it won’t even let you log in until you’ve had a drink and blown into the blood-alcohol analyzer attachment. The higher your reading, the more features that are available for use. It’s certainly a novel idea, unless it’s some sort of parody app designed to draw awareness to binge-drinking.

Naturally for an app that centers on getting people drunk, there are also gamification elements, like incorporation of Truth or Dare, which net users points for taking part in challenges set by other members.

There are actually a few interesting features to be found on Livr, like a map that shows not only where other people are drinking around you, but also what stage they are at in their night out – indicated by a different color circle around the area. So, if the circle on the map is large, there are lots of people and if it’s dark in color, they’ve had a lot to drink too.

There’s also a Drunk Dial feature that will connect you with another random Livr user that has been allowed into the app for a chat, should you wish to talk nonsense with a total stranger.

Better than that though, content (like drunken pictures) is all shared within the app, and if you wake up the next morning feeling regretful, Livr also includes a Blackout function that erases everything in one touch. If on the other hand it was a fun night out, you can send a report to other Livr users.

Livr isn’t quite ready for release just yet, but it is scheduled for launch “this spring”, so it shouldn’t be too long before you can download it. Whether it will be free, chargeable or include the required breathalyser remains to be seen.
