There are so many options. So many ways to get your buzz on - but how do you know when your night of kicking back may have kicked the legal limit? That's where the sober aps come in.

Technology claims to have your back, letting you know when you've had too much to drink and shouldn't get behind the wheel.  

The idea is catching on. More than 100,000 people have downloaded the Andriod Brethalyzer Ap. U Sober judges how straight of a line you walk with your phone in hand. Some aps even scan your eye, all in hopes keeping you from behind the wheel.
