Tracked daily and created using Open Office. The 2023 data is similar to 2022 but is missing a few months.
I really only drink beer and I count 1 unit as one 5% 12oz beer. So 6 light beers at 4% I would count as 4.8 drinks.
In 2022 I saw a doctor and some bad blood tests and a bad MRI got me to stop for a month or so. Since then I’ve generally been able to keep my drinking to a lower level.
90 drinks a week??? how did you get so much money
You went cold turkey after alcohol poisoning?
idk about the data itself being beautiful but if keeping track of it is helping you improve your life then that is def beautiful
So you average 3 drinks per day!? Jeez that’s a lot of drinking.
r/SoberCurious is an excellent resource if you’re thinking about changing some things up! I did a Sober September and it was life changing. I am back to drinking but it is nowhere near what I was craving beforehand.
This data isn’t beautiful, it’s depressing. OP is trying to kill themselves with alcohol.
From someone who has been there and tracked my drinking…it will get worse, not better, stop as soon as you can. Alcohol is a powerful, baffling and cunning thing. Part of your brain knows how bad it is, that’s why you’re tracking it. Please seek help.
Jfc…. bro… you need help.
I’m an Aussie and love a drink or 10…. but that’s like 1 massive night every couple of weeks… you are off tap.
Reddit will only get you comments from the kind of people who commented but the fact that you went way down means you can keep cutting. Nice work and keep working downward š
Holy shit thatās a lot!!
When I was younger Iād get drunk on weekends pretty frequently but now Iām old (mid 30s) Iām lucky if I have 1 or 2 drinks a week. Most weeks I have none.
Are you self medicating with this? Like you say you drink at home alone – do you enjoy being drunk? Or are you simply addicted? Is there nothing you could substitute to try wean off alcohol?
Either way – congrats on reducing your alcohol intake, I hope for your sake you can continue this trend!
My stats were looking pretty similar for a few years. Now I’m 4 years sober and it’s been one of the best decisions of my life.
I really, really don’t miss it. No cravings, nothing. It’s gone.
r/stopdrinking is also a wonderful supportive community
Keep up with reducing your intake. I chose to not drink a drop in 2024 just to see what it felt like. I havenāt missed it all, other than a nice glass of wine with a really good meal.
Iāve saved a lot of $$, sleep quality is so much better, I have more energy, and Iām more present and engaged in social settings where normally I would have a cocktail or two.
Keep it up!
Keep going man. I’d suggest really focusing on how much better you feel when you don’t drink. I think you’ll find the added energy and better mood the day after you don’t drink to really be almost enjoyable. That’s what works for me. Keep setting goals for yourself and chipping away at it. I’m proud of you for drinking so much less than you did a couple years ago. I think you should be proud for taking this step to find a way to reduce your drinking. Let’s gooooooo!
I no longer drink. Just wanted to provide a message of support.
Holy fucking shit what a life
Not trying to be funny but curious, How big of a beer belly you got?
I recommend excercise/lifting. It will diminish the withdrawl as your body will physically require/feel the need for nutrients and protein to recover.
Bro had a seizure on week 21
Data is not beautiful today
That level of drinking greatly increases your risk of getting cancer.
Iād post my own, but it wouldnāt be that interesting, as it fully flatlined during the summer š almost 100 days soon!
Goal for 2025 is keeping it below 20 per week, you can do it OP.
Just quit. Your graph illustrates cycles of cutting back following by ramping up. Itās a pretty typical cycle. You canāt control it, the alcohol will always win. /r/stopdrinking
