(Apparently they were supposed to give you better reception, but they did a better job of mixing a Jack and Coke on the fly.)
In today’s post-feature phone universe, your smartphone is your wingman. There are apps out there to help bring you to booze, get liquor in you faster, get you home, and everything in between. Today we’re going to take a look at a few must have apps when you’re getting drunk with Android. So without further ado, let’s get Andrunk!

YES! Power Hour is just that - a classic power hour drinking game. You can customize how many beers and/or shots you want to drink, adjust the time between drinks, and manage music. Power Hour is able to send notifications via the status bar, text-pop, sound alert, or vibrate. It is able to run in the background and will pause for incoming calls - because this is something you want to tell people about while you do it! Oh, speaking of which, it also has Facebook sharing integration, which is probably a terrible idea.
Once again, free in the Google Play store.
