Bar allergies, pregnancies and cast-iron AA promises, booze drips into every Brit's life, be it in the form of a Friday evening drinky-poo after work or a swig from the hipflask while half-sunk into your favourite armchair on a Sunday evening.

But what you need is something to monitor your alcoholic consumption, to keep you on the straight and narrow, your belly small and your wallet fat. Enter the recently released 'You Booze, You Lose' iPhone app, designed to keep you in the know when you're down at the boozer.

It watches the money you spend, the calories you've consumed and the units you've imbibed, alongside booze facts and statistics. But far from being a prissy know-it-all, desperate to tell you off for the pints you pop down your throat, the app serves to just let you know how you're getting on, booze-wise.

So in celebration of all things alcohol and iPhone-related, here's our favourite boozey iPhone apps ever, after the jump.


Urbanspoon

An iPhone classic (if such things exist), but there's no better 'I'm out - what food should I get?' app out there, offering the perfect food solution to the inebriated and yet technologically advanced punter of a sozzled night.



Shazam

Trolleyed? Dancing? Screaming the words to a song you've never heard of before? Approaching strangers shouting the word "YEAH!"? Well to find out the name of the song that's doing this to you, use Shazam, which'll tell you right there and then.



The Bad Decision Blocker

The Bad Decision Blocker (or the 'BDB' as it's known by experts) is the app that stops you from calling your ex or your boss or your flat mate when you're slaughtered, preventing those awkward "did I leave that as a voicemail or was I dreaming" moments the morning after.


Pocket Cocktails

Your portable posh piss-up compedenium, Pocket Cocktails offers hundreds of different ways to use up the Christmas booze you never thought you'd ever drink, ever. Make sure you've got mini-umbrellas though, otherwise you're going to look fdoopid.


The Bad Pick-up Line Generator

What says "I find you attractive and I'd like to get to you know better" better than a series of corny and embarrassing pick-up lines spat out by an app on your iPhone? That's right, anything else.


The Carling iPint

An iPhone and iPod Touch mainstay the world over, this is the first app you download as soon as you hurriedly rip off its packaging and connect it to your PC / Mac / dog. Pretend to drink a pint to your lips! Via your iPhone! No woman isn't impressed by this beauty. Not one. Honest.


The 'Wooo' button

If you're anything like us, a couple too many appletinis and we get just a little bit overexcited, giggling, squealing and shouting for joy. Okay, just us then. But if you're in need of releasing some pent-up joy, there's nothing better than the 'wooo' button. Trust us.
