Elevator Pitch No. 1

DrinkSmart
In our generation, individuals begin consuming alcoholic beverages around the time they start high school. The unmet opportunity is the promotion of responsible drinking among all ages. Because the drinking age fails at preventing underage drinking, a possible solution is to develop an app that promotes drinking responsibly at any age. This would allow users to check their BAC, track the types and amounts of drinks they have consumed and locate taxi or Uber services in the local area to get drinkers home safely.  The app would be called DrinkSmart and the significant take away is to have a good time, but do so responsibly.

  1. Emmalee, I really like your idea. I think it's something that would do well in the market especially since kids are starting to drink alcohol at a very young age these days. Your pitch was really good you got everything across that wanted to in a clear concise manner. The only critique I have is to stand next time instead of sit other than that good job!

  2. This is a really great idea, especially in a college town like Gainesville. Including statistics was a very good call on your part, because including hard facts is a great way to get people on board with you. I know a lot of people I know would be interested in something like that. It might also put parents at ease knowing that even if their child is drinking they are doing so responsibly.

  3. Emmalee, I really like that you recognize the fact that regardless of the law, people are going to be drinking anyways. It's a taboo topic to discuss for some reason, but going out of the way to address it, and come up with a smart solution to it is impressive. The app itself is a great idea and could definitely be feasibly implemented into apple and android products. I can tell you put time into this, and you did really well, keep up the good work.
