Alcohol-3
Insights and patterns

The total tells you how much. The pattern tells you why.

Charts built from what you logged, not from an estimate. Units by day with the guideline drawn across, which days of the week carry the weight, what you actually drink most of, and whether the line is going the way you want.

Units by day

The dashed line marks 2 units a day, the UK guideline of 14 a week spread evenly.

Why this exists

A weekly number on its own does not tell you where to push

Two people can drink the same forty units a week. One has a glass most evenings, the other has almost nothing until Friday. They have different problems and they need different plans. Averages hide that. Seeing the shape of your week is what turns a vague intention into something you can act on.

  • Which days do the damage, and which days are already fine
  • Whether the trend is down, flat, or drifting up while you feel fine about it
  • What you drink most of, which is often not what you would have guessed
  • How this week sits against the week you described when you signed up

How it works

Using insights and patterns

  1. Log for a week or two

    The charts are only as good as what is behind them. A fortnight is enough for the shape of a normal week to show.

  2. Look at units by day

    Every day plotted, with a seven-day rolling average over the top and the UK guideline marked. Spikes stand out immediately.

  3. Check the day of the week view

    Your units averaged by weekday. This is usually the chart that surprises people, because the heavy day is rarely the one they name.

  4. Compare against where you started

    Your current average week is set against the drinking you described at sign-up, so progress is measured from your own starting point rather than a general population figure.

What you get

In the app

Units by day

The core chart, with a rolling average and the 14 unit weekly guideline spread evenly across the week as a dashed line.

Heaviest days of the week

Your average units for each weekday, so a Friday problem and an every-evening problem look different on the page.

What you drink

A breakdown by drink type and by product, ranked. Useful when a single item turns out to account for most of the total.

Then and now

Weekly average at sign-up, this week, and across all the time you have tracked, side by side.

Who this helps

What it changes

If you want to cut down without stopping

The charts show you the cheapest wins. Often two evenings a week account for most of the total, and the rest of the week barely needs to change.

If you feel like nothing is improving

Week to week, progress is invisible. Across three months it is obvious. The trend line is there for the weeks when it does not feel like it is working.

If you are preparing for an appointment

A clinician can read the shape of a drinking week from these charts far faster than from a description.

Being straight with you

The charts will not smooth over a bad week

A heavy week shows up as a heavy week. There is no rolling adjustment that quietly softens it and no target that moves to meet you. If the line goes the wrong way you will see it, which is the only way it is any use when the line goes the right way.

Common questions

How much do I need to log before the charts are useful?

Around a fortnight. That is usually enough for a normal week to show its shape. The day-of-week chart in particular needs a few weeks before it settles.

What is the dashed line on the chart?

The UK Chief Medical Officers advise no more than 14 units a week. The dashed line marks 2 units a day, which is that guideline spread evenly. It is a reference point, not a daily target, and the advice is to spread drinking over three days or more with several drink-free days.

Are untracked days counted as zero?

No. A day with no entry and no check-in is treated as unknown, and it is left out of averages rather than pulling them down.
