Happy Saturday

Drinking too much on nights out? Hangovers hitting harder than they used to? Happy Saturday is the drinking app that helps you pace yourself and feel better the next morning. It interrupts you before "one more" turns into a lost Saturday, with four levels that get louder when you need them: a push, your lock screen, a phone call, and a nudge when you walk into a bar. We know alcohol isn't good for you. We're not here to lecture. We're here to keep drinking fun. LEVEL 1 · R-rated pacing reminders Random nudges to drink water and slow down. Hundreds of them. Some swear. LEVEL 2 · Drink timer (counting is hard) Pick a 30, 45, or 60 minute pace. Your lock screen shows how many drinks you should've had by now. LEVEL 3 · Phone calls when notifications aren't enough Real calls on your schedule to break the "one more" spiral. LEVEL 4 · Bar protection Walk into a bar after 5pm and we'll nudge you to turn your tools on. - The hangover health protocol A no-BS plan for before, during, and after. - Curated alcohol health products Popular, effective picks. None are magic. - Drink and hangover tracker Log your drinks and how rough the morning was. The calendar shows which nights wrecked you. Cheers to Happy Saturdays.
