Methodology
As always, the purpose of our BACtrack Consumption Reports is to provide insight into alcohol consumption patterns to encourage people to consider the effects of alcohol and make smarter decisions.
Data for this BACtrack Consumption Report was collected anonymously from users of the BACtrack App which connects with BACtrack Mobile, C6 and C8 smartphone breathalyzers via Bluetooth. Data is viewed in aggregate and represents unique BAC tests from March and April 2020. Data used in this report was collected from U.S. users only with data storage activated, location services turned on, and does not represent data from all users.
