Keep calm and count your drinks! Stay within moderate (low-risk) alcohol limits, get motived to drink less and save money. Track, understand and make a positive change! More than a log — it’s your accountability partner. Track what, when, and how much you drink. Non-judgemental with full privacy (data is on your device only). DrinkControl helps you stay accountable and notice patterns in your drinking habits. Whether you're trying to cut back, stick to certain days, or simply stay more mindful, this app keeps you on track. “This app helped me reduce my drinking by simply making me aware.” We think and drink in glasses, cans and bottles — not alcohol units. But not all beers, wines, or cocktails contain the same amount of alcohol. DrinkControl takes the guesswork out of the equation by converting every drink into standard alcohol units / grams of pure alcohol, based on real guidelines from health institutions. “Really opens your eyes when you see how many units are in a few ‘innocent’ drinks.” Alcohol doesn’t just affect your liver — it affects your waistline and wallet too. Drinks are full of empty (without any nutritional value) calories. DrinkControl helps you stay aware of the amount of calories in your drinks, making it easier to manage your weight, cut down for health reasons, or save money. “This app helped me lose weight and drink less at the same time.” Features: - Easily and quickly track your drinks and alcohol expenses - Track and see your drinking history in calendar - Stay within low-risk/moderate alcohol limits - Mark your dry/sober days and streaks - Charts, trend-line and statistics on alcohol/calories consumed, money spent on drinks - Sync alcohol units (standard drinks) and alcohol calories with Apple Health - Get your personal infographic on drinks consumed Premium features include: - Add DrinkControl widgets for your homescreen - Set and customize drink tracking reminders/notifications - Get statistics and charts for previous months/weeks, quarters or years - Look back in the history, create an infographic for full month or year - Customize with your favourite types of drinks and serving sizes - Export data to .csv file for use in Excel/Numbers - Back up your data to iCloud or Dropbox - Select one of many alternate app icons Terms, Conditions and Privacy: https://drinkcontrolapp.com/privacy.htm

Helped me realize just how much I was drinking. So I stopped.
Feb 19

¡Just try it!
I knew I had been drinking too much alcohol, and drinking almost every day. Drink Control helped me realize just how much I really was drinking. I really like how easy it was to customize my input screen to the types of drinks I typically had and create custom drinks, too. It would remember the last drink I had, so input was super quick. Since it converted everything to UNITS of alcohol, I knew just how many drinks really were in that 6 ounce, 12% glass of wine or in the 24 oz 5% hard seltzer or that big, extra dry martini from my favorite bartender. After tracking all of my drinks for a year, being brutally honest with myself about what I drank the night before (even looking in my trash for the empties, asking the bartender or my friends, or looking at my credit card charges), I saw aaallll those red lines and decided I was done. Moderation for me didn’t work, so I quit. I found the TLC online sober community and haven’t looked back. Six months later, I still have the app and relish inputting Dry Day after Dry Day. Whenever I need a reminder, I look back on my drinking history in the app (which was just one year of more than two decades of struggling with alcohol). So glad I quit! Thank you Drink Control for the part you played in my journey to sobriety!

I admit I’m a worrier. I tend to overthink things. Meaning that I can get paranoid about how healthy or unhealthy I perceive my habits to be. I enjoy drinking but I find it easy to feel like I’m overdoing it either in how many days a week I drink or with how many drinks I have in a social outing (whether it is real or perceived is a different topic). This app has been very helpful in bringing some stability to my own perceptions of that. It is easy to just pop into the app and tally a drink as I go, or the next day if I got too busy chatting to stop and enter. The weekly tally is great because I can see how many drinks I’ve had and I can see the upcoming day when the tally will go down so that I don’t feel pressure for drinking again until the running tally drops lower. Overall, it is easy to use and I’ve consistently recorded all my drinks for the past 6 months. I’m less stressed and can easily see when I feel like I need to dial down a bit, or when it is ok to let loose and have some more fun. For me, it takes the worry away and that has been great.

Very useful app

I’ve never seen myself as a big drinker, but after having a stroke, I knew I needed to more carefully and completely monitor my alcohol intake. This app has not only helped to monitor my drinking, but more importantly, help measure actual alcohol units. For example, I like microbrews, especially IPAs. With this app I discovered the true volume of my alcohol intake I never had considered: a single IPA pint, clearly not a problem drinker kind of drink, is actually nearly 2 alcohol units given the high average alcohol content of modern microbrews. Think of it, in my younger days, 2 pints would be the norm yet that’s actually equal to 4 alcohol units. Without a doubt, an eye opener. I really appreciate the app for its usefulness but also for its well thought out layout. Inputting information is straight forward and simple. The data presentation is clear and meaningful. Great app!

Really helps with tracking

I’ve been tracking drinks with this app for quite awhile and did get the premium version to keep better track. It has really helped me to see how much I overconsume without even realizing it. I hope to slowly cut back to drinking healthier amounts over time with the help of this app. It is a great app, you can track many types of drinks, and each day will show up as a different color depending on how much you drink (blue for nothing or up to the recommended daily amount, purple if you go a bit over or red if you go way over). Edit to my original post, I thought you could only track beers in increments of .5% and was happy to find out in the premium version there is a way to track by increments of .1%. My only suggestion would be add a way to track additional Oz options, like 1/2 a beer of the different size options if I share it with someone. Would like to see that option show up in the future! Overall great app and will continue to use.

Hi! With Premium features enabled you can longtap on ABV picker in the drink editing screen to switch beteen 0.5% and 0.1% precision modes for alcohol strength. Hope this helps!

NEW - Added Calendar grid home screen widget showing your last 30 days in the nice compact visual grid view. IMPROVED - When exporting app data to .csv, resulting file also includes TotalUnits column that has total alcohol units for each row, calculated according to currently selected guidelines in the app. FIXED - Fixed data migration process that might add weird serving sizes for user-defined drink types.
