Units are calculated based either off the average for a pint of mid strength beer or from the units listed on the backs of bottles. I’ve bee keeping this list since I started drinking at 16. I’m now 20. There is one missing piece of data that I’m still looking for, it’s written on a scrap of paper somewhere.
On nights out etc I keep a note on my phone of what I’m drinking and if I finish the drink. If the drink is not finished I reduce the number in the column for ‘total drink’ eg if I only had 3/4 of my pint it would become 0.75 of a drink.
Edit for some FAQ:
How do I keep track when blackout?: I generally stop drinking when I’m that frazzled as I start vomiting. Light weight I know. On the occasion I continue to drink my friends have always taken notes for me or at least taken pictures of my drinks for me to calculate later.
Am I fun at parties?: No clue, I have a decent friend group and a partner I love and they all like the spreadsheet or have similar. So I have fun at parties with people like me. Am I fun to other people? Idk nor do I care.
Am I autistic? : I think so but the NHS said I’m not.
Why did I start doing this?: long story short, to work out how much I needed to drink to be appropriately hammered before coming to uni and then just kept it up to help with keeping to limits. It’s helped a lot with doctors appointments and when I got spiked it was evidence that I hadn’t drunk enough to end up in the state I was.
5.13 Gin: we measured while drinking in caps from the gin bottle. I worked out ml in the cap and converted to ml in a shot approximately. Hence the .13.
‘If you’re able to count your not doing it right’. - refer to above ‘how do I keep track’.
The images do not show every single data entry. The photos show the start and the current bottom of the sheet along with totals.
Nah cause who’s sent the wellness bot after me for this. That’s mad. How is this so controversial?
