“The Drinking Machine” application has been designed by forensic artist Auriole Price as a warning of the devastating effects of alcohol on the body.
Initially designed for a Scottish Government health drive, the app is now available on iTunes for 69p.
By taking a photo and inputting your daily alcohol intake, the app shows how heavy drinking speeds up the ageing process.
Auriole, 41, said: “We are appealing to people’s vanity as the effects of alcohol can include red, broken veins on the cheeks, bloodshot eyes, a bloated face and deeper wrinkles.”
The app has been used on photographs of well-known celebrities – from Angelina Jolie and Madonna to Tulisa.
