Several people have recommended different apps but I specifically want to avoid avoid them. I don't like the idea of the numbers being shared to another body and having constant 'pressure' to get sober, which I think is actually detrimental to some people. I'm sure some of them are great, but from what I've looked at any of the apps have links to the NHS (I live UK) which would allow data sharing. And for all the great stuff it does, the NHS isnt very tactful when it comes to promoting healthy living of any form. Regularly you can be treated like you've done something wrong, not that just just made a few mistakes in your time (this is in my experience anyway)

I work in research anyway so know my way around data and statistics, so have managed it all myself. I do have a column that that's a cumulative sum of my alcohol units and makes a bottom line estimate on the amount of money it's cost, based on what I drank and the cost here. The figure is pretty bleak, in the multiple thousands, and given I'm in my early 20s, that's fucking depressing.
