# Drinking Invitation Apps The 'Beer?!' App is the Simplest Way to Ask Someone for a Drink By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-09-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ask-someone-for-a-drink References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/09/beer-app-viral-yo-friends.html) & [beerapp.co](http://beerapp.co/) Just as there's the Yo app to quickly say hi to someone, there's the [Beer?! app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buy-me-a-beer), so that you can ask someone for a drink. The app features a simple menu where you can add the names of your friends, and choose one of them to message. Just like the Yo app, the only thing that you can actually message to your companion is a "Beer?!" which is straight and to the point. Rather than worrying about when and where, the app's only feature is to have message recipients reply "Beer?!" so in response, beer is always the answer. The app is silly and simple, but if the popularity of Yo has been any indication, it should be just as fun to try out with your friends. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Drinking Invitation Apps:** Opportunity for more apps that simplify the process of asking someone for a drink. - **'beer?!'
