With the recent rise in alcohol related incidents and deaths in the United States we have seen new technologies and tools to try to reduce the number of these occurrences. Apps such as Uber are only a click away from being able to pick up an intoxicated person at a party and there is research being done at Washington University on an application to communicate with your friends that you are too drunk while at a party based on Transdermal Alcohol Content (TAC). This thesis presents an idea and initial feasibility experiments for an affordable one-night-use wristband that would be able to change colors based on your TAC and encourage wearers to be aware of how much alcohol they have actually consumed throughout the night, with the goal of reducing the number of incidents and deaths.
