Important Notice
Tipplr is designed as a social tool to help you track your drinks and connect with friends. It is not a medical device and should never be used to determine whether you are safe to drive or operate machinery. Always err on the side of caution.
We do not encourage excessive drinking or any illegal activity. By using Tipplr, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your actions and decisions regarding alcohol consumption. Tipplr, its developers, and affiliates are not liable for any consequences arising from your use of alcohol or the app.
Age Requirement
Tipplr is intended for use only by individuals of legal drinking age in their respective jurisdiction. In the United States, this is 21 years of age. By using Tipplr, you confirm that you are of legal drinking age in your location. We do not condone or encourage underage drinking under any circumstances.
Never Drink and Drive
There is no safe amount of alcohol when driving. Even small amounts of alcohol can impair your judgment, reaction time, and motor skills. If you plan to drink:
- Designate a sober driver before you start drinking
- Use rideshare services like Uber or Lyft
- Take public transportation
- Stay where you are until you are completely sober
- Call a friend or family member for a ride
Any drink tracking or BAC estimates provided by Tipplr are approximations only and should never be used to assess your ability to drive. The only safe option after drinking is to not drive at all.
Know Your Limits
Everyone metabolizes alcohol differently based on factors including:
- Body weight and composition
- Gender
- Food consumption
- Medications
- Overall health
- Tolerance levels
- Hydration status
What affects one person mildly may significantly impair another. Learn your personal limits and respect them. If you're unsure, don't drink or drink less.
Health Risks of Alcohol
Alcohol consumption carries inherent health risks. Excessive drinking can lead to:
- Liver disease and damage
- Heart problems and cardiovascular disease
- Increased risk of certain cancers
- Weakened immune system
- Mental health issues including depression and anxiety
- Alcohol dependency and addiction
- Impaired judgment leading to risky behavior
- Alcohol poisoning, which can be fatal
If you have any health conditions or are taking medications, consult with your healthcare provider about whether alcohol consumption is safe for you.
Signs of Alcohol Poisoning
Alcohol poisoning is a serious and potentially fatal condition. Seek emergency medical help immediately if someone shows these signs:

Pregnancy Warning
