Per thousand Icon is an app that makes it a little easier not to drink too much.
The app helps you stay under 0.6 alcohol.
Why just 0.6? Because the well-being that alcohol provides actually decreases when you exceed that level. (Then the brain's ability to take up the reward substances that the alcohol releases decreases.)
So drinking more is actually wasted money. And unnecessary calories. It also involves much higher risk. The less you drink, the better it is for your health.
And now it's easier than ever to keep track of your blood alcohol level. After downloading the app, you first enter your gender, weight, height and age. Then just enter what you drink, and you can follow your blood alcohol level in real time. If you turn the phone, you will see what your blood alcohol curve will look like. (And how many calories you've consumed, in the form of alcohol.)
In the app, you can also read more about the art of minimizing the risks of alcohol. And you get practical tips on how to stay below a certain level even when you don't want to go home early.
Why has Systembolaget developed this app? To make it a little easier not to drink too much. Unlike other chain stores, we don't have to worry about it reducing our sales. Our mission is not to make as much profit as possible, but to contribute to making alcohol problems as small as possible.
Therefore, we also want to tell you that the app cannot be used to determine whether you can drive a car. (An app can only provide an estimate of your blood alcohol level, and your ability to drive can be severely impaired even after the alcohol has left your body.)
