6 Drinking Apps for Today's Booze Hounds

By Tiara McNeely

People like drinking and people like iPhones, so it's only natural that developers have created a multitude of apps for those who enjoy a good adult beverage. If you're a fan of alcohol and good times than check out these 6 drinking apps and throw back a few tonight.

Are you sick of the standard drinking games at parties? Want to play something other than Circle of Death or Beer Pong? Sounds like you need Drinking 101, an app with nearly 200 popular drinking games sure to liven up any party. Revelers can use Drinking 101 to select a game at random; search for a game based on name, category, or drunk level; and save favorites for future reference. At 0.99, even the poorest of college students can afford this useful drinking tool.

Butch Gals and Fem Chicks alike will enjoy this quirky app listing 50 cocktail recipes selected especially for lesbians. 50 Ultimate Lesbian Cocktails has "visually stunning" photos of each cocktail, 25 for Fems and 25 for Butch women. Lesbian mixologist Angie Jackson also adds some witty commentary to liven things up. Girls just want to have fun and they certainly will with this light-hearted drinking app ($1.99).

If you're a beer or wine aficionado who likes to record tasting impressions, then you may want to consider purchasing the Beer or Wine Pad apps. At $3.99, these handy apps allows users to rate beer and wine, record their thoughts, take pictures of wine and beer labels, save favorites, and email thoughts to fellow fans. Beer Pad/Wine Pad is a great way to keep track of your favorite, and least favorite, brands of beer and wine.

Want to discover new brands of whiskey? Than iWhiskey is the app for you. Developed by renowned spirit reviewer F. Paul Pacult, iWhiskey reviews 600 brands of the world's whiskeys which users can easily view by flipping through bottle screenshots. The app, at $10.99, is more expensive than most, but whiskey fans will be glad they splurged.

The average liquor store has an overwhelming amount of wine, making it difficult to know what to choose. That's where Hello Vino comes in. This free app helps users select the perfect wine for food pairings, gifts, and holidays as well, as view ratings and reviews for specific wines. Users can also share information via Facebook and Twitter.

It's the weekend and you don't have much money. You'd like to grab a drink with a few friends, but you don't want to rack up a ridiculous tab. Never fear. There's Happy Houred. With this FREE app, users can find the best happy hour specials in their area as well as add new promotions. Bar fans can search for specials by day, time, the type of bar, the type of drink, as well as add reviews and photos. Hard to beat that.
