How it works
One entry per drink. Amount in standard units, the time, and optionally what
it was — beer or cider, wine, spirits.
One standard unit is 10 g of pure alcohol. If you are unsure, a small glass
of wine or half a pint is roughly one.
Why the app cares
Alcohol is one of the largest single influences on the measurements this app
collects, and it is invisible to every wearable.
It reliably raises resting heart rate, suppresses HRV, fragments sleep and
disrupts glucose — often for two nights, not one. A poor Capacity score two days
after a good evening is one of the most common “why is this wrong?” moments in
any recovery app, and it is usually not wrong at all.
Logging it means the app can put your figures in context rather than reporting a
mysterious dip. This is also, frankly, one of the more interesting things we get
to look at: how much a normal social evening actually moves the numbers.
Half units are kept
1.5 units of wine is an ordinary amount, and the app records it as 1.5 rather
than rounding to something tidier. Rounding would misstate the dose.
Timing matters
Log roughly when you drank, not when you remembered. A 9pm drink and a 1am drink
have very different effects on the night that follows.
No judgement in the app
Nothing here scolds you, sets a target, or colours a number red because you had
a drink. It is context for your other measurements, nothing more.
Log honestly. Do not perform — an under-reported
weekend produces a mystery in the data rather than a tidier picture.
