Abstract
Uncontrolled alcohol consumption has been the cause of concern for decades, where around 14 million adults are struggling with alcohol addiction, leading to approximately 2,60,000 deaths yearly in India. The study followed a six-step methodology indicating that youngsters, from the age of 18 to 25, consume alcohol for various reasons, including academic or workplace stress, leisure and relaxation. The situation aggravates when individuals fail to reach home safely. Given the condition, the objective of this study was to research the impact of alcohol consumption on the young population and suggest design solutions to improve their drinking experience and help them reach home safely after parties. To solve this problem, we introduce Wingman - a robust system that consists of a portable breathalyzer and an interactive mobile application.
