Promile INFO is a service for people who want or need to have their alcohol consumption under control - the service is useful for drivers, bikers or doctors. It is easy to use, anonymous and can be accessed anywhere and anytime: by sending one text message you will immediately find out when you will be sober again. Based on the input data either sent via a text message, filled in via the WAP interface or entered into our new Java application, the Promile INFO will calculate your current blood alcohol level and also the time when you will be sober again.
Our aim is to offer the Promile INFO service to all responsible drivers as a practical tool for personal alcohol control - according to long-term statistics, the number of traffic accidents caused by driving under the influence of alcohol is still on the increase. Only last year, drivers under the influence caused 7,252 accidents, killing 80 people.
One example for all
Male drinker, 31 years of age, weight 120 kilos, arrives at his friend's birthday party at 8 p.m. and drinks 10 large beers and 6 large shots. The following morning, he needs to leave his friend's cottage to drive back to Prague. Promile INFO will tell him that there is no need for him to get up before 11:30 a.m.
The Promile INFO project has been inspired by the Finnish service developed in 2000 by Tuevo Peltoniemi, an expert on network services, for the largest non-profit organization dealing with alcohol and drug abuse in Finland. The Promile INFO service (formerly called Promile SMS) has been provided in the Czech Republic since 2005 under the auspices of SANANIM. Having overcome a difficult start in its operation, it has already found both regular as well as occasional users, whose number increases each year.
Plzeňský Prazdroj, a.s. has been supporting the project financially since 2007.
