From a BAC calculator to a drink guide, I’ve rounded up five of the better Android apps to have installed for New Year’s Eve.

Mixology

Mixology is a handy app to have around, especially if you?re entertaining ?thirsty? guests.
Browse and search through 7,900+ drink recipes and 1,300+ ingredients.
Search drinks by name or ingredient(s), view lists of many of the most popular mixed drinks, cocktails, and shots, or tap the ?Random? tab for to find a drink based on liquor, mixer, and glassware criteria.

Taxi Mojo

Taxi Mojo is a hassle-free Taxi Finder app for iPhone that simplifies the hassle of hailing a cab (if u can even find one on NYE).
You can use Taxi Mojo to place an order for a taxi cab pickup, and track it live as it makes its way towards you!
In a hurry? Add a ?bounty? (cash bonus) for an even faster pickup if the cab driver makes it to your location within a 10 min deadline. The bounty is paid to the driver for bumping you up the list of his priorities.
The only downside is that it?s not available in every city (list here) , but if it is the sheer convenience makes it worthy of mention.

Social Interlock

Social Interlock is another must-have iPhone app for New Year?s Eve. It requires users to pass simple motor skill tests before they can access their Facebook, MySpace (it?s still around?), or Twitter accounts.

The developer says that for the best results the official apps for these sites should be removed from your phone to limit your ability to bypass the sobriety check.
