Before I clicked the link and watched the video, my first thought was that it was something related to AA or sobriety in general. I can see how this may be a problem for traction and for people telling their friends about it. Until someone explains how it works a large number of people may think the name relates to addiction.

The color scheme of black and gold adds on to that inebriated vibe. A more generic name might appeal to a broader audience, unless your app is indeed targeted at the party and drinking crowd.
