      Data was collected and tracked using the iPhone notes app throughout drinking events (not the best choice but got lazy and kept on with it). Drinks were tracked as per the [CDC US Standard Drink Size](https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/standard-drink-sizes/index.html). In general I wanted to track this behaviour in an attempt to reduce my casual and binge drinking. Thus far I have failed but will attempt to reduce my consumption in 2025.

      Oh this is cumulative drinks throughout the year…. I thought this was total drinks a day at a glance.

      You should flip flop the two y axis. Took me forever to figure out how you were having 300 drinks in a day

      Interesting data.

      It’s surprising to me that you have quite a of days with zero drinks. Maybe an easy place to start is to shoot for more days with zero drinks! Total up the number of zero drink days from the previous two years and set a goal for more of those days, then break it down by month and week. I know for me that would be easier to tackle, knowing that to reach my goal, I need to have four days every week with zero drinks, or whatever your number is.

      For what it’s worth, r/stopdrinking is always touted as a great resource, even if you’re just trying to cut back and not quit entirely.

      After some rigorous statistical analysis, I believe the data suggest you’re a heavy binge drinker.

      Along with drinks per day, you should also include drinks per drinking day. That would exclude all the non drink days and really highlight your binge drinking.

      What does an 18-drink day look like? Does that start at dawn and involve a drink per hour or is it 5 drinks an hour until blackout? Or something else?

      Not sure what the point of showing the different holidays was, you were going to be drinking regardless of the holiday or not.

      I initially thought the orange line was drinks per day and wondered how your year got so progressively sloppy

      A better way to show this would be to completely remove the cumilitive part, then group the dates into a much longer period, maybe by month, that would make it WAY more clear what you are showing here.

      Most people drink more on weekends and less on weeknights. Since it’s already unclear which day of the spikes fall on anyway, the changes in your drinking habits through the year would be better represented if you smoothed the data to show number of drinks per week.

      OP must be under 30. If I do this at 40 I would be thoroughly incapacitated 💀
