One Year With a Drinkaware App
It is interesting stuff looking at my Drinkaware app a year after first fully utilising it. Well it has for me; you might find it as interesting as a night watching paint dry with Steve Davies. If that’s the case, click off now. What I have to decide is whether it has been worth it? The Stats So, here we go.
