More and more people are more cognizant of their alcohol consumption, and like calories - it can be hard to eyeball them compared to the "standard unit" (14g alcohol).

I build an iOS app (https://quenchai.app) that uses a carefully constructed Multimodal LLM workflow to convert photos to standard drinks and track consumption over time.

Did you know a standard margarita is ~2.5 standard drinks and a light beer is ~0.8?

Why not just a barcode scanner? And a standard lookup for mixed drinks.

I don't feel like this needed an AI solution.

Why not click on their link and see they are talking about drinks served in bars?

Sooooooo mixed drinks..?

It's wild to me how you jumped down my throat about not looking into his product enough when you did read my entire comment.
