Drink Logger makes it easy to track your drinking and monitor your estimated Blood Alcohol Content
What Company Is Offering:
Drink Logger makes it easy to track your drinking and monitor your estimated Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) with plots that show your BAC over time.
How It Works:
When you log a drink, all of the alcohol will be shown in your system at that time. Since alcohol takes time to be absorbed into your system, this is a known inaccuracy in the estimate of BAC. One way to err is to log the drink once it is complete. This way the BAC from that drink will show up in your system for a longer time.
However, this will only be fair estimate if you take a while to consume the drink so that alcohol is entering your system before the drink is consumed. If you are drinking fast, or taking shots, you may want to consider logging the drink some time after it is consumed.

EasyAutoSales is to help you sell your new or used car and find your next perfect vehicle
What Company Is Offering:
EasyAutoSales lists vehicles from both dealerships and private sellers and their goal is to use technology to help you sell your new or used car and find your next perfect vehicle.
How It Works:
When viewing the vehicle details page, you can click to view the contact information of the sellers. From these screens, you can choose to contact the sellers by phone or our on site message system. If the sellers do not respond to your inquiry in a reasonable time, you can try getting their attention by calling them. If they still can not be reached, it may be best to look for another car from another seller. While they can help connect buyers and sellers through their service, they cannot force the members of the site to respond.
Use them as a conduit to help you find the car of your dreams. If you have questions about the cars listed on this site, you are encouraged to contact the sellers, examine the cars in person and schedule test-drives until you find one you are sure about.
