Log beer, wine, spirits, cocktails and custom drinks with their real volume, strength, quantity, shared portions, cost and time. NEW: DAY NOTES Open any day, even one without drinks, and add how you slept, how the morning after felt, where you were, the occasion, who you were with, and a note. Every tag turns into numbers: bars against home, Fridays against Mondays, the friend you drink most with, how you sleep after two drinks and after six. AlcoStat shows you the pattern. What to do with it is up to you. SEE THE PATTERN • Drinking and alcohol-free days on a calendar • Totals, averages, medians, streaks, peak days and spending for any period • Weeks, months, years and rolling periods, each with its own history chart • Optional trend lines that show whether you're drinking more or less • Rankings of drinks, places, occasions and company • Tap a card for its chart.
