DrinkControl: Alcohol Tracker

With drinks that have different alcohol content it’s very hard to be sure how much you actually drank over just a few days. Tracking over a month? Several months? A year? It’s impossible. I have that data now and it’s useful. It’s a great way for me to be accountable but also let myself relax when I’m within my limits. Very responsive developer too which is great. Thank you. I should share that I added in a custom drink called “water” to indicate for myself that I tracked my drinks that night and I had zero. It might be a helpful drink to add by default simply as a placeholder. That way I know later that I was being honest! And then I get it on the infograph as well. I can check how many days I skipped drinking over a time period by checking how many times I marked down “water” for my drinks. Very useful. Thank you

I have been using this App everyday for over 2 years. I wanted help to reduce my alcohol intake to the limit recommended for women- which is one drink a day. I used to drink wine everyday while making dinner and watching the news. A very enjoyable habit. However- this turned into .5 to 1 bottle a day! This App allows me to make a goal and it holds me accountable. If you are data oriented-and want a way to keep track of your intake-and become healthier and break this bad habit- this App has certainly helped me. Just an FYI- you also have to find something enjoyable to do when you used to be drinking to make it easier to break a habit and build new ones. Good luck!

I have tried 4 of the alcohol tracking apps and a number of the calorie tracking apps and this one is definitely the best. There is no reason to not try this app. If you get frustrated with the app make sure you locate the calendar feature that allows you to edit and review what you have entered for the day and pervious days, which isn’t obvious, I used the app for 4 days before I made a significant mistake and couldn’t figure out how to fix. So in frustration I emailed the developer and suggested that they add a edit feature. They responded practically immediately that the feature was already there! Great App! Great support!

I have been tracking my daily drinking for the last 3 or 4 years using an online program. It’s no longer available so I checked the App Store and purchased this app about a week ago for about the price of one drink. 🙂 It’s a good program - uncomplicated and flexible. Provides the information I need. I like that it reminds me each day to enter my data. I’d like to see some visual record of drink free days as a positive reinforcement, but that’s not essential. The program works for me, keeps me honest. I recommend it.

Wish life were simple enough to just count drinks, but I realize that’s not how it goes. A margarita carries more “weight” than a light beer. I like this app because it does show me a true picture/diary of how much and how often I drink, but as far as considering myself “moderate” for drinking, I’m not going to beat myself up. I’ll drink more on a dinner date or attending a college football game on a weekend, than on an average Tuesday night. I’ll continue to pay the most attention to the number of drinks, regardless of the type, and try not to exceed what’s acceptable for a woman. Most of the time I stick to lower ABV beers and average glasses of wine, so counting drinks and seeing how many I drink each week helps keep me on track.
